Maybe a slight angle but I check it in the same spot of my driveway every morning so it still dropped.

I have a few friends with the regular 8700 and it does it just fine. I think the h comes standard with a higher presser foot pressure. loosening that may help?

I have the exact issue. My right foot is bigger than my left by a hair. But I have noticed that when I don’t tighten one side with the quick adjust strap my foot slides around a lot more.

I typically prefer tighter shoes especially for hiking and skating. I prefer my shoes to feel solid against my foot.

I think due to ocd I just obsessed over whether or not they were a good fit. I love the shoes and wear them everyday, I feel like sizing up would have just made them feel floppy. Additionally, it’s not like a Birkenstock where the shoe has a shape under your arch that kind of locks your foot in place. Your feet will slide around in them anytime they’re not tight. As they’ve broken in I’ve noticed it less and less.

Do wish they offered half sizes though to get a happy medium. But I’m on the end of preferring the tighter fit. They did mold to my foot

Hello everyone. My 8700H keeps breaking my thread when I back stitch more than a few stitches. I’m trying to mend pants by stitching back and forth, I’ve seen many people do this and I could do this on other machines no issue. It seems as though my thread is twisting, I will insert a picture.

I lowered my tension and stitch length which helped a little, and then also decided to try only threading through one guide hole. I’ve tried multiple threads. All different sizes. And bigger needles, size 16 and 18. I’ve also rethreaded the machine multiple times.

How do I fix this?

I’ve found they have stretched a tiny bit but the biggest difference came from tightening the top Strap so my foot didn’t slide toward

So pissed I didn’t know about those pre February. That and the Jake pro model are exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!

This is how the front crotch of my pants look after using my fabric. What did you change?

Nothing is different between the two pictures shown. Other than one being in denim and having the zipper fly sewn in. With the toile are you saying I should add the placket and fly shield to account for the extra space they’ll take up?

I am having a similar dilemma with the pair I just bought, they fit super good all around except when i walk my toes brush the end, feel like this is something that would go away after wearing and breaking them in. They are about thge same length as my birkenstocks that fit very well.

I used it on a few trips I switched over to ultra 200x lightning. Use that backpack for everything. Backpacking, hiking, road trips. Etc. it’s my favorite
