It could be that the hand lifter was replaced somewhere along the line & this one has a lower lift,how high does it lift with the knee lifter?

Look on youtube for Singer 111w (flatbed version of your machine) belt change there's quite a few vids there.

Looks like a small bobbin to me.

We have Singer #200006 screw in stock.

On the backside of the machine there's a wingnut adjustment that has L,M,H loosen the wingnut & move it so the line is on the H & report back what happens.

That ones for the feed dog.

Sure will.

The circled cam controls the timing of the walking feet,almost all walking feet machines have & many times are not adjusted from the factory correctly. 441 top feed cam.pdf

It looks like all you need to do is rotate the feed cam on the top shaft.

I always adjusted uph machines so the needle is in the material just before the inside foot comes down & meets the feed dog,this way when the machine gets wear on it the inside foot doesn't end up pushing the material foward as it sews.

No,it's OK,that's a good idea using the lower cost feet like that & if it works for you that's great.Oh & always chime in whenever you want this board is all about everyones different ideas & experiences.That's how we learn from others.

Dana, Yes these feet will work & we can also get these chrome plated steel feet & sell them @ a cheaper price BUT we've found so many leatherworkers often sew moist or wet leather which interacts with the chrome & makes it peel off making the steel rusty.The feet we sell as stated on our website are made of stainless steel which will never rust.

It is easier to get blades for the Landis than the Champion.

Try sewing on it w/o putting the thread through the needlebar thread guide,if it sews better you need a new guide as they many times get a groove cut in them from the thread.

In all my years of working on machines I've never seen this happen on a shoe patcher of any brand.Sounds like someone might of taken the cam by the handwheel off & re-mounted 180degrees,that is why your having so much trouble timing it.So try knocking the pin out urn it half way around put the pin back in & then re-time it again & it should work.

Nice video.Here's one from Singer back in the day.

No,we do not have the drawings anymore.

Try adjusting the stitch length,turn the knob will pushing in clockwise makes it longer (as long as the threads on the shaft aren't broken)

He's right you need a way bigger machine than a 20U which is made for sewing clothes.Look for a big Singer 7 class ,you need to use a large size #346 thread to be sure your stitching will hold on these straps.On real light duty rachet straps rated for 3-600 lbs 69 "might" work in a pinch as long as you had alot of lines 4-5" long ,close together the width of the strap probably like a 2" wide one,but the wider HD type of strap needs thicker thread.

I was testing a machine once & a needle broke,hit me in the cheek it felt like a bee sting,lucky for me no bleeding wound BUT I sure am glad to have to wear glasses.I I'd hate to think what could happen if it hit my eye.So note to all WEAR SAFETY GLASSES when sewing esp when using bigger needles & heavier leather.

The back of the foot is pushing your material into the top edge of the needle plate,you might try to loosen the foot pressure ,the best cure would be to grind off the sharpness at the top of each feed dog slot at the top edge of the needle plate like the pic shows.I know your plate has probably 3 slots so gring or file each slot & let us know how it works.

It's a hole puncher,you have to drill a hole to insert the lower tension & drill & tap a hole for the upper tension.Take-up lever is missing too.Parts for this if you can find them will be expensive.

Did you check to see that the feed cams to make sure the screw marked w/a S is in the slot? Also when you going to change the stitch length make sure the lower button is going into the groove,sometimes you have to hold the one down & turn it one way or the other so the top one will go in.Once you get them both set where they go in @ the same time,be sure to unlock the top one b4 you turn the machine or you'll have to start over.

We always use the HD hook w/o the tang for heavier sewing B1830-563-BAO

There's a page on Facebook(Chinese Shoe Patcher)for them too you might want to check out & you can read all the work that's involved to get one sewing,I've heard of a few that no matter what they do they won't sew.But for the price you can't get anything cheaper.
