The Jacket Plant was, but I am not sure I am at times ;)

That's okay, there's lots of time I'm not sure if I'm on this planet.

Well...5 machines may have something to do with streamlining the
production...
in any case the 29-4 with its rather unique universal feed could
replace at least
two of those machines.
Have looked at setting out the sewing job to pros, awaiting reply.
In the meantime I had a closer look at this old brute and have
indentified what I think is
the main problem (for the time being). It sews dead straight up and
down the arm, but
sewing 'normally' across the arm causes the seam to crawl to the left
at about 5-10deg angle...always!
E.g when sewing a 2nd parallel seam to the right and aligning the foot
parallel
to the 1st seam the 2nd seam will creap towards the 1st.
Initially I figured it was the thread that was pulling the needle to
the left as it went
trough the work, but after adjusting the machine so there is zero
tension when the
needle pierces..and it still crawls left...I think that can be ruled
out.
Have also tried different needles, same result.
Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it ?

Yes you are putting to much material under the foot. Something has to give
and the material is the weakest link. That machine is a shoe patch machine
not intended for the work you are doing.
