Pfaff 145 different hooks. What’s the difference?
CowboyBob replied to SingerDad's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Yes,the only difference is the raised gib (for thinner threads) otherwise they are the same. -
@Ken2 Here's a couple pics.You can lay a piece of cardboard on top of the arm & make a pattern.If I made this one I would of used some thin angle iron & 2 screws for the mounting tabs.
-
Yes good machine,parts from the 29K71 will fit it,so it's better then a 29-4 which take different parts many which are not made anymore.

Older model Juki 341

Wrong needle,these are home machine needles & are approx 1/4" too short,you need to buy 135x16 needles.You shouldn't have any problem finding them,but if you do we have them in stock.

Looks like screw #1365.See attached parts list. 226R-1.pdf (consew.com)

Singer 111w154 - thread tension too tight?
CowboyBob replied to Jayzimmerman3's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Once in a while the lower disc behind the check spring splits & can pinch the thread.You also want to make sure it isn't getting caught on the thread stand? -

@BrickCityBeasts Did you take the large screw out of this clamp? Or is it missing?
-
When you put the needle plate back on make sure the little tab of the bobbincase is in the slot of the needle plate which is @ the 9:00 position.Also make sure it's threaded correctly & that you have enough tension & hold on the the needle thread for the 1st 3-4 stitches.
-
@BrickCityBeasts Glad you like the reducer! You might need to adjust the reverse & foward stitch length ,foward stitch is the lower screw,loosen the locknut & turn the screw to the left,the upper screw in the pic is for reverse.You might need to ajust both so the stitch length is the same in foward & reverse.
-
The best way to adjust this is loosen the screw in the stitch indicator,then push the button in & adjust the stitch length to full length.Then spin the indicator to the #5 & tighten the set screw on it.

Like Gary said you might have to not set your needle so deep.Here's a manual. Bonis manual.pdf

Which Hand Operated Sewing Machine works Best?
CowboyBob replied to MarshalWill's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
It's possible he made a wooden crate for it & that's why it so heavy? -
Which Hand Operated Sewing Machine works Best?
CowboyBob replied to MarshalWill's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
When I ship them double-boxed they weigh 52 Lbs (the extra box & packing weigh 6 lbs) he might want to re-check the weight because he's way off. -

CowboyBob replied to wabbit's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Do you have any play or movement of the needlebar left to right ? -
Question about letter codes in a Pfaff CLPMN
CowboyBob replied to Tirediron's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The only advantage of this machine over the Consew is the higher lift & easier stitch length adjustment.It should take a longer (190R) needle and only Pfaff feet fit Pfaff's so they tend to cost more $.If you were to buy a Juki 562,563,1541 or 1508 your Consew feet will interchange. -

Once you get it where it needs to be tighten the screws as tight as you can or it will slip & stick up again.

The clamp might be stuck on the shaft,did you loosen the screw alot?If so you could try & put a screwdriver between the clamp & pry it just alittle to get it to open so you can push the bar down.

It is a 205MO-25 that has a top jump foot w/teeth on it made for sewing moccasins,from the factory it will barely sew 3/8".it has feed dogs underneath that need to pull the leather through which can leave marks on the bottom & you could the teeth off the upper foot if there still on it.
