My wife has a 15-90 clone with the belt drive motor that I have been using to (slowly, whenever I have a minute) create an Anderson style sling. I am using a #18 needle with Gutermann upholstery thread.
When attempting to punch through 3 layers of webbing everything stops moving and the motor lets out a puff of smoke. I am able to hand crank it through just fine so I was hoping someone with more experience might be able to tell me what I can do to, if anything, to get the motor to power the machine instead of me hand cranking.
Although the stitchwork does look better when hand cranking, probably from going slower. Maybe I don't want to know.
