    How's it working? Usually I tell people when it loops underneath to double check the threading or tighten the top tension alittle.Looping is almost always loose upper thread tension.

    You can also use a #20 needle w#92 thread & would need alittle less foot pressure to hold it down.The larger needles create more friction.

    I checked with one supplier & it shows it's discontinued.
  4. CowboyBob
    I checked that part# out w/my supplier & they say Brother has discontinued it,so maybe someone has some old stock?
  5. CowboyBob
    We stock needles for the 45K, but your size # are way off the smallest you can get is a #21 for cloth & #22 for leather.

    Welcome,it's nice to see another leatherworker from Ohio.

    file:///home/chronos/u-fb0e68cf593b2bc6570aebf31e13a1dcc163c845/Downloads/Singer%20138W101.pdf I guess you'll have to cut & paste.

    A Pfaff 335 is the same.

    You might want to try searching Singer 231 for more info.

    This applies to all sewing machines.You need to stop with the take up lever all the way up.This is the part that moves up & down while your sewing & you thread through it.You might need to adjust where your syncronizer stops the machine to get it @ the top. HTH
  13. CowboyBob
    Yes,we get calls from people every once in a while about the lever moving on them & have to explain it.Glad to hear it helped you.

    Clickers have a short travel on the ram so you can set the depth it cuts.If you go too deep you'll cut up your board.So if you use a hydraulic press you'll need an adjustable stop maybe 4 (one on each corner) but they can be made to work.
  15. CowboyBob
    Yes,Greg ,Thanks now that you mentioned it I have seen the model 360 on these before.

    This one looks like a bottom & top feet type of walking foot & the feed dogs will making the bottomside,the 226R has a walking foot needlefeed that will leave a lot less marking on the bottom of the leather.

    Here's the difference I get from high to low.
  18. CowboyBob
    You can turn it down to the lowest setting,loosen the 2-screws on the collar, turn the pointer to mittel (making sure the shaft doesn't turn), tighten screws & turn down more.
  19. CowboyBob
    It's a model 226R,setting the way it is you can't sew on it so it might need some adjustment or parts.You will need a table,motor,thread stand, bobbin winder & light,& a drip pan.It will add up w/shpg alittle under $300.00,unless you can search around & find a used one.
  20. CowboyBob
    This is a very easy adjustment.You need a 10mm wrench & a 2.5 mm allen wrench,take the 10mm & loosen the nut in the pic,take the 2.5 m & put inside the nut on the allen bolt & turn it alittle clockwise & check the tightness of the stitch length handle & when you get it where it doesn't move up& down by itself tighten the 10mm.

    I was going by a machine we had on the shelf.
  22. CowboyBob
    If your machine was a double needle you would have 2-posts(with the tension discs),one on the right & one on the left,on single needles it's on the left & yours is on the right.It really doesn't matter as long as it's working,which it will but I was just letting you know.
  23. CowboyBob
    Yes,it original both the single & double needles use the same back plate but the tension post on a single needle is usually on the leftside.
  24. CowboyBob
    Some great info for a newbie there!! Thanks!
  25. CowboyBob
    You mainly need to lube the thread For 3 reasons I can think of is when your sewing real fast,it helps cool the needle so you don't burn the thread,#2 if your sewing dry & or old leather & #3 is when the leather is real thick or if your thickness close to the max for your machine it prevents skipped stitches.
