Miriam,
Reduce the pics to 800x600 then email them to me and I'll post 'em for you. If you can't reduce them you'll have to send them to me one at time. My server has limits. Joe |

Yes, I have the manual and the cams that go with. I haven't yet tried it out as there is a wire that needs to be taped. It came in a cabnet with a knee controller. Two plug in wires. One for the knee controller, I assume, and the other for the light. Once I get that bare wire taped, I will try her out. She is also a green machine.
The reason it took so long for me to answer this thread, my computer was so clogged with junk, I had to do some fixing on it. Claudia |
I got my Phoenix to sew. You have to put the bobbin thread through a little loop - I missed that the first 65 times I tried - I finally said Uncle and looked it up on line and got that fixed. I'm wondering what needle it takes. Mine has a needle image on the slide plate - much smaller than the needle in the machine. It says 1738 so I wonder what that means. If it is smaller, why does the needle in the machine work? I haven't tested the decorative stitches yet - I still need to get power to the machine. It's table is at the shop and the machine is at home... I think I might fall in love with this one.

Miriam,
Here are some of the pictures you sent to me of the Phoenix. I hope that they show up. Cathy [ATTACH=CONFIG]374228[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]374229[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]374230[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]374231[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]374232[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]374233[/ATTACH] |
Wow Cathy - you did the impossible!!!
Top picture - a little lever releases the bobbin hatch The bobbin in it's case lifts out and in - the bobbin threads like a normal bobbin then there is a hole in one of the little fork like things for thread to go through In the back of the machine is a cam stack - the lever on the top releases it it came out very easily - I think there should be a way to take them on and off - mine is on very tight right now Then I reinstalled the cam stack. The cam stack controls are on the front of the machine next to the stitch length regulator. The machine takes industrial type round shank needles but regular needles will go in - very hard to get out though. If you get the industrial type needles you have to make the needle hole line up just so. Not hard to do once you have done it. |
Must not have been impossible, as I did do it. :DBut it did take some work.:thumbup:

I should try to put up a picture of the bobbin threaded correctly some time.
I'm liking this machine. This is not some hohum piece of junk. |
