to time take-up to
contact
thread sooner (FAST), or over toward front
of
machine
to contact thread later
(SLOW).
Slightly
tighten set screw Fig. 39.
Loosen the two set screws, Fig. 39 in hub of looper-

Looper take-up (left) can also be advanced or retard
ed to suit sewing conditions. Slightly tighten two set
screws.
Check the
