Mine do not so I have to figure out how to adjust that thaks for your input colt . shoe patcher I will try to get a photo bucket account to post the pictures so you can see them .

One last question colt ? When you hit it in reverse does the stitches fall in the same hole or are they off ?

Colt is that the longest stitch your 206 Rb -1 can make? I bought mine because it could do longer stitches tha my 226 rb1 and had a bigger bobbin

I have adjusted the play on that. the only play I am wondering is between the needle bar rock frame and the hinge stud . But I have measure the dog stroke with the adjusting lever at max stitch length an the stroke length is like .260 to achieve a 3 1/2 length it needs to be more like .290 of stroke

No it's not loose I have tried pulling it out a bit to gain extra length but no luck

Hi im new to this forum , I have just gotten a new to me 206rb1 consew , the problem I am having is the stich length , its says in the book it can do 7mm stitch length ( wich is 3 3/8 stitches per inch ) but the best I could get it to do was 4 1/8 stitches per inch I replaced dog needle plate , and took it apart bottom end put it back together and fixing to set all the settings on this machine per the manual . Is there an adjustment that will reduce or lengthen the stitch other than the stitch lever ? Or 4 1/8 stitch per inch is the norm for this machine , any help would be appreciated thank you.
