"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…"

'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

"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…"

"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"

Thread 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
