    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.

    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.

    @Dantan I have 7 boxes of these in stock in white.
  10. 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.

    @Gerald WhitehurstJust above the foot is the stitch length adjuster,loosen the screw & slide it down for a longer stitch.

    Great video,I'll add this one;Birth of a Sewing Machine - YouTube
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. CowboyBob
    Get a small screw (10/32) 1" long with a nut & wind bobbins with a drill.
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. CowboyBob
    We can still get the handwheel & shaft for this model.
  20. CowboyBob
    If you turn the knob down lower than 660 it will lose power BUT will go slow @ 660 or above you just need to push lightly with your foot & the should go down to 100 rpm as long as the belts aren't too tight.
  21. CowboyBob
    Hey,looks pretty good.The easiest thing to do is get a larger wheel on the reducer so you have at least a 4-1 reduction,5-1 would even be better.Larger handwheels this shaft size are hard to find.
  22. CowboyBob
    Why wouldn't a standard LR needle for a 441 work?
  23. CowboyBob
    We used to sell Econosews & I checked the only machine that comes close to that model# is a 727-5 which is the same as a Consew 205RB here's a manual for it LMK if it's the correct one or not.If not posting a pic will help.. Consew205RB.pdf

    I asked them 10 years ago & the minimum was 10,000 BUT they were bought out by Groz-Beckert a couple yrs ago & things may have changed.
  25. CowboyBob
    @AlZilla Just so you know it's a light duty machine that just has bottom feed in it.
