Linda Chan replied to Linda Chan's discussion 'New' old Merrow 60w"Hello Charlie,
I have left messages with Hoffman Brothers and have not received a response as of yet. I have, however, found that the bubbler on the machine was just loose and that is why it was leaking. It still does not sew properly. Do you know…"

Linda Chan posted a discussion'New' old Merrow 60w
I purchased a 60w from a gentleman along with two other machines. I finally was able to get a belt to start it up. I put oil in the bubbler and started it. It sounds kind of like a train and does not sew well. Then this morning I went to check on her and the oil was out of the bubbler and running down the side of the machine. I know that this machine had been sitting unused for 12 years as it had belonged to his wife. What would be my next step in order to get this machine going in honor of…See More

David Davies replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Leanne,
Servo motor was critical for me. The clutch motor was just way to fast.
since I'm not using the presser foot I use my finger to hold the material down. If you don't, the material rides up…"
Leanne O'Driscoll replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Re-threading is still a relatively slow process, but my language is not as "special" as it used to be. So I think that constitutes an improvement! Have checked out your video quite a few times - I take it the servo motor is…"
David Davies replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Have you seen my video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J6Y2dM60j4
How are you at rethreading after a thread break?"
Leanne O'Driscoll replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Many thanks - am determined to get this beast under control. I keep telling myself that it is just a machine, therefore subject to superior mechanical intelligence and knowhow ...... theoretically. :)"
David Davies replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"The tighter springs helped. The servo motor really, really helped. The lower looper thread must be really, really tight. You almost think it will break under the tension but it doesn't.
Good luck,
Dave"
Leanne O'Driscoll replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Thank you for this information. I am having the exact problem that David was having, and I would like to ask if the new springs resolved the problem. I have already contacted our local Merrow distributor here in Australia to chase this…"
Julee Johnson posted a discussionThread Selection
Can I use my Madeira 40 Embroidery Thread to merrow edges of patches that I have embroidered. Might use a little more thread but would not have to shop to match and have to acquire a huge selection right now.I have it threaded on machine but can't get the stitch close enough. Also, I read that the MG3U does 1/8" to 3/16" inch edge. Is this a manual adjustment?ThanksSomeday I'll get this machine making money.JSee More
