Presser Foot Slipped?

[Ballyhoo]

I have been sewing the same job for a few hours and recently started getting thread breaks. When I checked the presser foot I noticed that it is not touching the fabric (just a hair above it) and the wheel is turned all the way down. It will go higher and then come back down to this point. Can someone tell me how to adjust this? Thanks.

Is your needle in the down position when adjusting the presser foot? I was taught in my Amaya class (2004) to put the machine in "heads down" through the maintenance tab when adjusting the presser foot. Don't know if that will help or not.

We've had to adjust our presser foot after it whacked the side of a hoop and slide up in the bracket assembly that holds it. Our tech (Brian) walked me through it over the phone but I can't remember how to tell you to do it. It's an easy fix-once you open the front of the needle head assembly there is a 'cam wheel' facing you and you see the shaft for the foot right there. I think you need the needle in 'heads down', loosen up the foot (can't remember if it's a hex screw or what) and drop it down, tighten it back up...was very simple to do. I know we need to do it again-it's creeped up so 'all the way down' isn't touching anymore. I know last month I heard it slapping on a hoop in the upper right hand part of a sewout...annoying but fixable.
Give your friendly tech a call and see if he/she will tell you how to do it if it's not in the 'manual' on the computer.

I noticed you posted in Friday,,,, I was in Alexandria in the morning,,, then sat in traffic for a couple of hours trying to get down to Richmond.

Anyway, there is a sring clip that holds the adjustment wheel in place,it may have broken.

Remove the side cover and see if here anything resting on the adjustment wheel near the 2 o'clock position. Give me a call if you have any questions.
