Singer 111W155 Alternating Presser Foot Problem
CowboyBob replied to Wishful's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Check to see how much lost movement you have in the vertical lifting rod on the back,you might just need to raise the pad on the knee lifter where it pushes on the rod.It is underneath real close to the motor. -

Small Motor Pulley with 5/8" Bore?
CowboyBob replied to Pintodeluxe's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
You might want to double check your measurement it might be close to 5/8 which is 0.6250 & 15 mm is 0.5906 which is the diameter on most new servos.If there's a nut to hold the pulley on then it should be the 15mm. -
Sewing canvas with a needle made for leather
CowboyBob replied to OldHarnessGuy's topic in How Do I Do That?
Sure you can use the leather needle & it will sew it ok BUT it can damage(cut) the threads in the material @ the hole that the needle makes.That's why we always recommend a round point needle for canvas & vinyl. -
Try the bobbin case from your Singer 241 in it,it should work.We stock them.
-
Yes,it's a walking foot machine but you will have trouble finding any parts for it.The manuafacture of this machine closed years ago & Consew doesn't have any part either.

Anyone using a servo motor with needle positioner?
CowboyBob replied to gavingear's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Try a larger motor pulley. -
Welcome to the group,I've been through the thriving metropolis of Pierpont many times yrs ago on the way to service a Canvas shop in Conneautville,along w/some Amish leather shops in your area.Do you know of Millers Leather?He's Amish up by Bushnell he might have some scraps of leather to sell if you need any

Sometimes people think the feed dog underneath is a walking foot.A walking foot machine has 2-upper feet a narrow inside the needle goes through & a wider outside one..
-
The 463 Pfaff is not a walking foot machine,it is a tailor,dressmaking type of machine for lightweight materials.
-
Yes,it's best to leave them on ,the larger one is almost impossible to get off w/o ruining it.I've used a wood chisel to get under them but as treasure said it is a lot easier to mask them & cut around w/a razor blade or exacto knife,then you won't be shopping for replacements,LOL!

Needles 16x63 series specifically 16x113 what are they?
CowboyBob replied to JessH's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
We always put the 135x17 needle in a 331k5,if it is set up for the 16x63 that is a longer needle & the 135x17 will work better since it has a scarf in it that the 16x63 doesn't.You will just need to lower the needlebar alittle to compensate. -
Looks perfect,so what did you do?

Yes,he's on this site,maybe he'll chime in?

Juki TSU-471 or Just go for a 441 clone?
CowboyBob replied to ferd69's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The Juki 471 is more suitable for sewing nylon webbing since it has lower feed dogs & teeth on the upper feet (which could be ground off BUT you still have the bottom feed dogs w/teeth that can mark the bottom of the leather) The 441's can be fitted w/a smooth feed dog that won't mar since it has a needle feed. -

Have you checked w/a voltmeter that your getting voltage on 2 of the wires?
-
You could get some dirt under the feed dog causing it to tilt? Also check that it isn't bent.How about the top pressure foot does it come down straight?
-
Maybe this will help?
