    The 206 would be the best.
  2. CowboyBob
    Great,maybe it was threaded wrong?
  3. CowboyBob
    Are you holding onto the needle thread for the first 3 stitches?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. CowboyBob
    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    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.
  15. CowboyBob
    The leather point for this machine is 16x2 ,.which we have in stock.You'll be able to sew thinner wallets or checkbook covers on this machine & a teflon foot will help he leather slide through easier.
  16. CowboyBob
    @Dantan I have 7 boxes of these in stock in white.
  17. CowboyBob
    No,get a used Singer 111w,Consew 225,226,Juki 562 or 563 & you'll be alot happier & do a better job of sewing than this one can.This was made to sew clothes using thin thread.
  18. CowboyBob
    @Gerald WhitehurstJust above the foot is the stitch length adjuster,loosen the screw & slide it down for a longer stitch.
  19. CowboyBob
    Great video,I'll add this one;Birth of a Sewing Machine - YouTube
  20. CowboyBob
    Yes,Sir that is a great price,I'd get it myself but it's a drive for me too,it's not in the pic but I do have the bobbincase for it.
  21. CowboyBob
    We stock this nut,you could borrow the one off the bobbin winder to try the machine & if you need anymore more parts,needles or thread order it all @ once.
  22. CowboyBob
    Don't worry about it,It's the normal pressure coming from the resistance of the spring for the outside foot lifting up when the inside goes down.
  23. CowboyBob
    Get a small screw (10/32) 1" long with a nut & wind bobbins with a drill.
  24. CowboyBob
    Yes,you shouldn't have any problems with #14 needles & 46 thread,if you do come back here & we'll help you fix it.LOL!
  25. CowboyBob
    The Singer 211 has a smaller handwheel making it harder to slow down than the other 2 & do to the design of it you can't install a larger pulley on it,for this reason & the fact that a few of the screws for it aren't available anymore would steer me towards one of the others.They both have larger bobbins too.The 167 should have a rubber belt in it,if it's cloth don't buy it.
