Just purchased a used TEHX C1501 for sampling, as I was tuning and timing it up I noticed the needle touches the fabric before the presser foot does. I can't get any more downward adjustment on the foot, its off a good 1/8" or more. Any thoughts.
Thanks

Thanks Jason
Re: Presser foot on Tajima
Somebody probably hit a hoop and bent the presser foot, it's a common issue for a inexperienced operator.
You can bend it back into correct position/shape using pliers and a pair of needle nose.
Presser feet are inexpensive, normally under $10., common part sold by most parts dealers. If not sure who to contact, Goggle: Axiom America or Sew Many Parts, Texmac, etc. if they don't have it, they will refer you to a source. (Not affiliated in any way, just have had excellent Customer Service with all mentioned over the years).
Re: Presser foot on Tajima
Thanks but that is not the problem. PF is not bent. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I am starting to think there is something wrong with the lower recipricator, but I don't believe that position can be set.
