  1. @Dantan I have 7 boxes of these in stock in white.
  2. 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.
  3. @Gerald WhitehurstJust above the foot is the stitch length adjuster,loosen the screw & slide it down for a longer stitch.
  4. Great video,I'll add this one;Birth of a Sewing Machine - YouTube
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Get a small screw (10/32) 1" long with a nut & wind bobbins with a drill.
  9. 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!
  10. 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.
  11. We can still get the handwheel & shaft for this model.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Why wouldn't a standard LR needle for a 441 work?
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. @AlZilla Just so you know it's a light duty machine that just has bottom feed in it.
  18. Yes,it's a double needle model 22,single needle of this type is model #21,the model #12 has a shorter arm & doesn't have this type of slide plates.Here's a parts list for this machine. Singer_22W1,_W110.pdf
  19. @AlZilla Looks like a Singer model #21(forerunner of 111w) to me.Great pics of everything BUT the front!!LOL!! Ask them to turn it around & see if it has a ag on it & maybe another pic or 2 will help us.
  20. Yes,it should have reverse.
  21. More info on the different 111w models.You'll find the 111W155 has the highest lift & longest stitch length. Singer 111w Class Machine Brochure-1.PDF
  22. All the screws on this machine loosen counterclockwise.
  23. I know it's too late BUT never ever ship a machine with the wheel on it!The slightest little hit at an angle to the wheel puts alot of force on the sfaft it & will bend it everytime.Many times UPS refuses to pay a claim like this IDK what Fed Ex will do since we don't use them.Are both of the screws loosened on the hub?Take both screws all the way out & use a screwdriver holding onto the rod under the top cover & you should be able to spin the wheel while pulling towards you should spin it off.Once you get it off get a thick wall piece of pipe with an inside diameter of the shaft & you can straighten the shaft,you'll need to find the high spot of the bend ,put the pipe on bend it down,put the wheel back on,spin it to check the wobble & keep repeating the process until it's straight,I've fixed many this way.It's alot easier than pulling the shaft.
  24. @maggieljThe "Special Edition" was another sellers idea & he sold them for $500.00 more(the pin striper charged $350.00), I never sold them I didn't feel it was worth it since it'll probably rub off in use,most of my customers don't want to spend no more than they have to.
  25. It is a 1/2" x28 tpi.I made a tap once out of an old one (screw)by cutting 4 slots in the bottom up a 1/2" or so & squeezed it in alittle so it would start.
