Archive of Thread: Brother Ribber (260-Bulky) Back

3 years ago
I was in the ribber classroom in the "Don't skip These" videos.  One of them is for adjustments. It talks about how the needles shouldn't hit the gate pegs...i.e. using a credit card to test.  My main bed is fine, credit card fits under the needles and doesn't touch the ribber gate pegs.  However, the opposite is far from true.  The ribber needles definitely touch the main bed gate pegs.  The best that I even get close to, after spending a lot of time reading my manual, and just fiddling with the darn thing... is the credit card test works great on either side - but the middle still touches.  Is the bed warped or something????
Just curious if anyone can help!

About two weeks ago, Jill, I noticed on my standard gauge Brother machine that my ribber is bowed!! I never noticed this before and have not had any trouble using it. It was a bit of a shock when I discovered it.
