crooke stitches

[funkster]

anyone ever have this issue.. straight stitches that are angled? It's driving me nuts - this is on a consew 206-rb5... I have seen these machines sew really straight in the past. I have tried 69 thread and 92 thread along with playing with tension.. there has to be a way to straighten this??

I remember reading about this. It is needle type I believe.

It might have been Gregg from Keystone Sewing Machine, but there was a link to a web site that showed everything you would ever want to know about needles and the stitches they make.

I lost all my links when I had my computer fixed so I no longer have that link.

Do a search on here and if it's not too old a reply, the link may still be around.

I remember Gregg linking some pics of the different stitches produced by different needles.
Funkster: Were the 2 rows of stitches in your pic done with the same needle?
