    No,once you start cussing they will start sewing worse & worse!!

    I'm glad "Hoss" made the trip to you & is sewing like he's supposed to.Treat him nice,oil him often & don't ever swear @ him & he'll keep sewing like a good Cowboy !!

    A 206RB-3 isn't a real old machine but there could be some wear in the upper feed that can cause a problem you want the needle in the material before the inside foot comes down..But the material being shorter on top would lead me to think there is some wear front to back on the inside foot causing the plies to shift.Also what type of thread are you using?Nylon can cause puckers in canvas since it stretches like a rubber band & after it's sewn will relax & pucker.Polyester is supposed t have less stretch & so does cotton.

    The feed is off probably didn't have the take up lever all the way up when he put the belt on ,or the feed cam underneath isn't in the slot on the bottom shaft,the screw that goes in the slot is marked w/a S on the cam.

    The hook can get jammed up& tie up the lower shaft,so put some oil around the bobbincase & rock the lower shaft back & forth.

    The short-arm version of this machine is a Singer 61W2,do a search for that model# & there's a lot more info.This machine is great for quilters w/the long arm.But don't expect to sew much leather with it. HTH Bob

    The flat bar & wing nut is how they get the pressure foot pressure on these older models,your 28K51 has the different newer style coil spring. Constabulary,I do see a adjusting screw on the take up lever that none of the 29-3&4 usually have maybe this is why it's a SV?Of course it could of been added through the years as a replacement part too.

    Nice !!!

    Jomar, I leaning like Eric towards foot pressure..I think your pressure was just loose enough that the leather lifted as the needle pulled up.These types of machines with walking feet always will mark some & some leathers mark easier than others.If needed the marks can be rubbed out by a spoon.

    Trox,Wiz is right we only use the FL550 & I don't care for the Hightex Cowboy either with the panel on the right like that it looks like any little bump in shipping could break it,also it has a computer chip in it & needs to be programmed.We had some reverse on us & I got tired of trying to explain how to program it.The servo motor we use now has proven to be easy to use & trouble-free so that's what we will stay with!!
  13. CowboyBob
    We had the same problem with this motor,it switches direction (or goes to default) in shipping,one of the two reasons we quit using them.
  14. CowboyBob
    It might be used to compress the leather after you glue it.

    I had consew send this to me. BRUSHLESS MOTOR PANEL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.pdf BRUSHLESS MOTOR PANEL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.pdf

    Here's one we rewrote & should be the same for your motor.

    All you should need to do is loosen the tension on the spring.You turn the screw in the pic to the left BUT you need to loosen the little locking screw(in the hole @ the top of your pic) first before you turn the larger one.

    This machine is just like a Singer 31-15 only it has reverse.It is a great tailor ,dressmaker or for even sewing jeans.For leather you can make chaps & thin stuff but the max thickness would be around 20 oz or 5/16 of in. & that would have to be w/a different motor,that home machine motor would barely sew 1/4",take 1/2" of leather over & try it & see what happens & let them explain their false advertising to you.The value would be $150.00 for the head @ the most as you'll need a power stand w/a servo motor & should even get a reducer so there's a good $400.00 unless you can cobble up something.

    Hello Jomar, I just got home from picking up some more machines & wanted to thank you & your Wife for buying a Cowboy.I wished we could ship it sooner but there is a few ahead of you & we ship them by the order they were sold.But we will let you now when it ships & give you the tracking #.

    The Pfaff isn't designed for thread larger than #92,it doesn't have a latch opener so it gets hung up in the position finger.
  24. CowboyBob
    Size 92 is the largest that will work,if the machine isn't too worn out #138 MIGHT work ,when it loops underneath try more tension.
  25. CowboyBob
    I've sold them to inmates in Texas & they have a lot of problems with them.I'm almost certain they try sewing too thick & have broken the feed bar(the part the feed dog fastens to) along with a lot of other parts.Yes,#92 is as big a thread as they will take & sewing 1/4" max.If you are just sewing upholstery or canvas these are great machines or even 1/4" leather.But for knife sheaths & etc it will leave nasty teeth marks in the leather.
