    Cobra never made a 7 class. The Consew/Seiko is a knock off of the old 7 class Singer but even heavier today in its sewing capacity. Consew 733-6 i think will sew 1 5/16". Constabulary would know. glenn

    You oil the hell out of the race around the bobbin case first. I have take a small block of wood and tapped the bobbin case slight to get it to move. Be careful not to hit it hard enough to break anything. The key is to get the bobbin case to move slightly. Make sure the gib is off the bobbin case. glenn

    That thread is big for the machine. Best you can do is #207 and I would only run that on the top. To run 277 thread, you normally need a harness class machine. glenn

    Your feed dog is what i call a slotted feed dog. I believe they make ones that are not slotted with just a hole, not an elongated hole for the 341. Buy a new feed dog. A clone if need be. Try part# 212-25008. Quicker and less headaches. glenn

    The original set screws used by Singer in the 18-2 were #457. That screw is obsolete. It was either 3/16" x 28TPI or 15/64" x 28 TPI. Only way to know for sure is to try each of these size screws in the hole. I cannot find an original spec on the screw other than screw above or below it in the Singer screw chart. Hope that helps. glenn
