Yes,we better update the website,that type isn't available anymore.

Yes,this guide will work.The guide we sell is identical to the one in question & no guides I know of provide front to back adjustment (just the drop down has this feature) just left to right.The CB3200 uses a different casting than the 441's & does not have a flat machines spot to fasten a drop down edge guide.

Size #69 nylon with a #16 needle should work.

Both tensions are too tight,alot of people like to see a stitch like this in leather(were it pulls in tightly) so it doesn't lay on the outside of the material to get rubbed against & cause the thread to wear through.

@Scottwb96 Look on page #14,it is the larger screw in the pic above but you have to loosen the locking screw first. 144w103.pdf

Many moons ago the first one I ever worked on just wouldn't sew using 138 nylon.I mentioned it to someone & he said trying some cotton thread with some lube,it sewed great.The nylon doesn't hold the loop like the cotton does.

Most people use a lockstitch on uppers. .It will use up to a #5 cord (346 nylon) but you'll have big loops on the back side,so I think 138 would hold good & not be too big on the bottom.

Ok,if they both are all the way in try raising the feed dog so it can lift the leather off the plate,also check that feed dog doesn't have any play in it by pushing it front to back,try the needlebar too,sometimes parts in the feed system get loose & need to be tightened or replaced.

@sinneD Glad to hear you got them so quickly.I just had a customer call today that he got a package we mailed him on 9/27/24 today! Usually the USPS does pretty good but they can make mistakes(like all of us) every once in a while!

By turning screw CC & the stitch length knob both in all the way should give you a long stitch length.You might also check the feed dog height to make sure it rises above the needle plate when it feeds.We do have both screw BB & CC in stock,BB is used to keep CC locked in.

This manual should work for you. Singer 51w100 and 52w100 - instructions for using and adjusting.pdf

Yes,the best thing to do is try to run it high speed (like winding a bobbin) once a day until you see oil @ the window & you shouldn't have any problems.I went to an Amishmans place once & he had a Singer 241 that had a buttonhole attachment on it that he ran for quite a few yrs w/o using the oil pan.

Use size 23 with 207.

When you shorten the stitch this machine like many others it will make the dial alot easier to go to a lower length by pushing the reverse lever down an inch.This takes the pressure off the dial.

Another cause,the motor belt many of them have bulge where they join you can feel it with your finger.Or it could too tight.And since you moved the balancer you should try to put it back the where it was so the #1 feed cam & #1 balancer screw line up.
