Ok,you knpow the part that holds the race in follow it over the the right & it looks like a bushing just underneath it is the screw to loosen.

I forgot to mention that I don't know of a repair manual for the 7 class. Bob

Christopher, How much side play does the hook have?The race(the part that holds the hook)has a plate on the backside that sometimes gets old thread & dirt behind it,so you can take out the 2-screws that hold itin & take the screw out of the back that holds the spring & this plate on & clean it out.#2 If there's still alot of play the race can be wornout. #3 looking underneath just to the laft of the hook area you'll see a screw w/a big head on it that goes into a clamp you can loosen this & move the whole race left & right re-tighten the scew as tight as you can get it when your done. Bob

Hello, do you want new or used?

I guess the a first time for everything so here's the pic you wanted. Bob

I have a new one for $49.00 + shpg

Well if a flatbed will work for you & you can get it for under $1,000.00 it might be worth getting because for $2,095.00 +shpg you can buy a brand new Cyl arm machine. Bob

Forget that model of Juki & get the Singer (take your leather along & see how it works)

Wiz is correct it's a tacker,it sews the length on the slot it looks like maybe 4" long.This machine is used in draperies. I just sold one like this a couple of weeks ago to a Drapery Shop. So don't even think about tyring to sew leather on it. Bob

Marie, I just checked & have 3)packs of#20's in stock & also have some #21 too. Bob

Have you adjusted the lift yet?You should have to raise the pressure bar up approx 1/4" this will give more lift under the roller>The reason the foot swings is so you can thread ur needle,because as you swing it down it goes lower by way it's made. Bob

Marie, I'm pretty sure I have them & will let you know tomorrow when I get back in the shop. Bob

When you time the hook do you have the needlebar go up 3/32"before the point of the hook is at the needle?

Heck Yeah!! I'd give her $200./00 too!!That's a great deal.

Art is correct it's a Pfaff & it's a high lift either 145 or 545 depending on bobbin size.Great machines. Bob

Blindhem is used on pants,dress pants you sew on the inside & the stitches don't show on the outside.

This is a blindhem machine for pants & draperies most parts are still available.

Mimi, I just thought I'd get my $.02 in here.Most of the time the pulley comes off w/o any problem,just be sure to loosen the set screw first.IF it doesn't want to cooperate you can put a larger wrench between the back of the pulley & the motor & pull the clutch arm down & it acts like a puller & after it slide off a little you can lift the arm up & put a screwdriver behind the wrech to fill the gap & pull the arm down again. This is how we've done it for years if they are tight. HTH, Bob

The 11w151 wouldn't be to bad of a machine for leather as itll sew to 5/16"thick & with the needlefeed it can pull it through.The 111w or alittle better than the 211 because they have a larger heavier handwheel. There are some feet available for them too like a zipper foot with the toe on the left or right & also a foot w/a nylon bottom that helps the leather feed better. Bob

Alot of older machines needed the thread lubed because all they had was cotton & linen thread that had to be lubed to sew,nowadays nylon thread you really don't need it until your sewing around 3/4". There is silicone thread lube avaiable .

It's a 17" Singer 11 Class,alittle shorter than the one in the pic.

Here's a Singer 98-2 Singer made for sewing tires together for recapping in 1915 Singer 30",11Class used for sewing buggy fenders & dashes

Great looking machines,I also got bitten by the old machine collection bug & when we moved into our larger building I had a room set aside for them but had to use it for something else . So here's a few pics of them. The smallest one is Singers first model of Industrial machine,the 2nd is called the Standard & the 3rd is a 3-1 Harness machine

The 563 is a good machine that has been replaced by the 1508 which sells for $2,200.00. So a good used machine 563 sells for $8-1,200.00 I have alot of customers using them & they work good as long as your careful when pulling up the bbobbin thread when you start. The Consew 206 & Chandler 406 are also good machines & with the horizontal hook the don't jam up as easy & will take #207 thread were the max the 563 like is 138. HTH Bob

If you have the book go to the stitch length page #10&11 you need to push on the button on the bed just to the right of the plate over the bobbin Let me know if you need anymore help. I have the manual & can copy off this part. Bob
