    Sorry,they have been discontinued yrs ago,usually the threads are broken on the shaft making the spindle unusable.If you release the tension(or take out screw BB & back screw CC out) on the stitch mechanism it(spindle) will slide all the way in & use screw CC to adjust the length & then reinsert CC to lock it from backing out.

    Is it looping underneath when it does this?If so you might need to tighten your upper tension.

    @AlZilla It's made that way so it has tension on the outside & doesn't turn as your sewing,it got bent because someone tried jamming it in there w/o backing out the screws to release the tension.

    If you can get that spindle back in there,if you can't just get a piece of metal the size of the spindle,taper the end ,push it in all the way & you can take out screw BB & use screw CC to adjust the stitch length.The spindle will go in alot easier if you backed the CC screw.

    138 is about the largest you can use.

    This is for a walking foot machine BUT everything is the same except you don't have the walking feet parts to adjust. 111w101.pdf

    This is a needle feed & unless someone changed it it should take a 135x5 for cloth ,vinyl & webbing & a 135x8 for leather it's about 1/4" shorter than the 135x17.

    Here's a Singer manual.You need to go around the tension on the side 1 & 1/2 times so the thread can grip the tension pulley. 45Kmanual.pdf

    Quoted from their website. All of our waxed polyester products are manufactured in house. Explore the products we manufacture, or shop cotton cord, nylon machine threads, and various sewing threads and accessories we distribute.

    The 206 would be the best.
  13. CowboyBob
    Great,maybe it was threaded wrong?
  14. CowboyBob
    Are you holding onto the needle thread for the first 3 stitches?
  15. CowboyBob
    The stitch length disc needs to be adjusted,adjust the length to fthe longest stitch length & have the #5 in the window & tighten screw.
  16. CowboyBob
    What is a full model # the 144w different subclasses of these had different ways to adjust the stitch length.

    @Seamyher89 There's the problem!! I can check with Juki tomorrow & let you know if they have them.
  18. CowboyBob
    Drilling in a hole this small is pretty tough to do,we've found if you pull the needle out it will take the pressure off the screw & it usually turns out using the point of a needle.

    I don't the your pics on the link you posted,try posting them here.

    Yes,there could be thread in the groove of the bobbincase that rides in the hook.You'll see the larger black gear that might have bad teeth.
  21. CowboyBob
    You have the foot pressure as tight as it will go loosen it until it starts skipping since it isn't holding the foot down then tighten a turn until it stops.You can run it real loose if you can hold the leather down as the needle is lifting our of the leather to get less marking.
  22. CowboyBob
    @Seamyher89 Take the bobbincase out & unjam the hook. Then take the cover off under the arm,I think you jammed it & stripped the plastic gear that drives the hook.
  23. CowboyBob
    Machines like this aren't made to sew finished goods on,they are more for repair where the scratches don't matter.There have been people use some shrink tubing you heat up & put on the foot but then you might have to help feed the leather as it sews because it might slip.

    Skiver?

    CowboyBob replied to 327fed's topic in Leather Machinery

    I have a 5 gallon of used motor oil & diesel fuel mixed 50-50 & drop old rusty stuff in it for a few weeks,it comes out pretty stinky but it kills all the rust & soaks in all the bearings,screws & makes it alot easier to tear down.

    The biggest difference is the handwheel,it's smaller on the 211 so it'll harder to slow down & some of the parts & screws have been discontinued on it,everything is still available for the 111W.
