  2. Consew 226 Stiching Is Reversed?

    in Leather Sewing Machines

    Posted · Edited by jkbuzbee

    here is what mine looks like its a consew 225 would it be the two little screws nearest to the bobbin kinda in the middle of the picture shown here

    when I pull on the threads the top thread seems a whole lot tighter then bottom should they feel like they have he same tension when pulling back to the left

    tried tighten the top thread a half a turn now it seems its so tight its pulling my needle to the left and causing the needle to jam up

    yes sir I have read it or at least I read that manual. There are so many screws in there I wasn't sure what they were talking about and near the center of the spring if your looking at the picture of the bobbin on pg 3 I see no spring but I will try to adjusting that little screw that holds the piece of steel that the thread goes thru.

    thanks for your help txag

    well me and my wife are just getting started I bought some used tools off of ebay and a tandy kit!!! made a coaster last night and let me tell yall, yall make it look real easy and awesome lol!!! we've got an outlet to sell the products when we actually get the carving and tooling down not saying the stuff would fly off the shelves but we have a home town feed store here in central texas and a lot of customers. as I was doing inventory one day I thought to myself man wouldn't it be neat to build/make some of these spur straps or some of these headstalls how awesome would that be? Well got to looking on craigslist and found a consew 225 sewing machine for $550 wound up trading the guy a tv I had and $325.00 thought that was a good deal specially good for me to start learning on.

    all I need now is more time and practice does anyone on here have and good practice patterns??

    thanks from J&K
