Hi I just got a new to me 111w103 and would like to see if the lift can be modify to be like the 111w105 aldo if the stitch length can be made longer than the 5 stitch length that it currently does any help would be appreciated thanks forum members

Gregg thanks for all your help I was able to adjust the stitch length. Up to over 1 1/2" long . I did notice that the needle has to be all the way up when you hit reverse and the stitches will fall in the same hole . Thanks again for all your help .

Gregg thanks for the pics. How far off thecenter line do you usually see them off to correct the stitch length on forward and reverse ?

Myne is the rb3 and I do not see that part in the inside of the machine Gergg I would like to get a real pic of the parts that I have to adjust to get the stitches to fall in the same holes

Any one has run Ito this problem with the forward and reversed stitch not falling inthe same hole ?

Hi Forum I am looking for help on adjusting the forward and reverse stitch to fall in the same hole in forward and reverse on my Consew 206rb3 I have read thru the manual but it is not clear as to where it needs to be adjusted ,any help would be appreciated , I have learned to do all the adjustments on my machine but the stitch length is the one I need to work on thanks in advance Ray.

Thanks Bob what needle size you recommend for 207 thread & 138 thread ?

Can you post a pick of it

Hi what is the thickes thread the 227 or the 153 can handle and the stitch lenght on them aNd also the max leather thickness it can sew thanks in advance for the info

I might have to look for another machine then lol in the mean time hopefully I can find some use for it thanks for all your help and advise

Hi Gotta know thanks for the info , when you say its useless for leather you mean heavy leather? my intentions were to use it for french seams in auto upholstery( meaning Vinyl and auto leather ) the other question i have since you own one is what is the thickest thread you can run on it being 138 bonded the max or ? i don't plan on using nylon thread ,but bonded Poly thread holds up better in the sun,

Hi Forum i have just purchase anew to me 112 W 116 Singers , i don;'t know too much about the machine other than is a needle feed machine ,has 2 needles , can this machine be used to do light leather work ? leather uphostery work like the french seams ? or what is best used for ? also where can i find the needle size for this machine and what is the max thread that it can handle ,I do know that the longest stitch it will do is 6 stitches per inch it is missing the roller attachment ,so i might have to look for the missing parts or just leave it and use it like a 112 W 115 , any help or information would be greatly appriciated. thanks in advance Ray,

Great video like the attention to detail and the resolution

Well I put it back together put it all back to specs to the best of my knowledge adjusted the forward and reverse stitch length got it to match the stitch length to the best of my limited know how lol and the best stitch I was able to get get was a little under 4 ( almost 4), ran 2 bobbins thru it did not break a thread or skip a stitch , she is there , but I am still going to get it tuned up by a mechanic just to let me know if I need any wore parts replaced , it was a pain in the butt doing a lot of trial and error , and looking thru numerous manuals to do the adjustments I kept the specs to the 206 RB-1 but I even looked at the Seiko manual it gave a better explanation on adjustment of the presser feet but thanks to all of you guys , for all the help especially Colt and Gregg who I bought the parts to fix my machine , I might end up selling it down the road since I also have a 226 RB-1 , and save up to get a Seiko STH -8BLD-3 over the 206 RB-5 since the Seiko is still made in Japan. But 1st I have to come up with the money LOL in the mean time start making projects to finance my addiction on sewing machines .

Gregg what's your trick to lengthen the stroke on the 206 I have messed with everything I can think of top of the machine that affects the stroke length and some that didn't lol are any of the bushings eccentric that I am over looking ? Any help is appreciated Ty in advance Gregg.

So the stitch length is 3 the best I can do was 4 but it was not falling in the same hole in reverse so I started mesing with the inner presser foot and got it all out of time so I will try to get it back in time or hang up the gloves and get help .i was never able to get less tha 4 stitches per inch

Did u aded a foot reverse to your consew colt? How does it work for you?

How you do that ? I could not doit . I have not oil it yet I got it working and whe I could not get it to stitch the long stitch length I started taking it apart and try to figure it out how to lengthen the stitch .if I fell better today I will start setting all the factory settings back and hope the needle will fall in the same hole when I put it in reverse .
