Thanks. I thought I was going to get over there Friday or yesterday but it'll have to wait for the week of the 28th. Lance

Thanks @Josacraw and @RKBrown, if I wind up with one of these that will make at least three of us in North Carolina with these. I suspect we would do well to keep in touch regarding parts and accessories and model specific tips and tricks. I'm a half hour north of downtown Winston-Salem. What's PSMC? Lance

@Josacraw, I'm looking at getting one of these and deciphering the thread sizes from the manual is like reading computer code to me. Do you know what the largest size thread is that these will handle gracefully? I use a good bit of 18 ounce canvas and would like to use something heavier than my Consew 226R and 227 will handle as I like the look of a larger contrasting tread. And have you been able to get good bobbins and other bits and pieces for it? Thanks Lance

Dave, I'm on Old Mill Rd in Pinnacle. We'll have to get together sometime. Lance

Maybe my patterns are bigger than some others but I use X-Board floor protector. It comes in rolls at building centers, flooring stores etc. https://www.homedepot.com/p/TRIMACO-35-in-x-100-ft-X-Board-Surface-Protector-12370/300095507 Lance

Sorry that I can't help with the adjustment but if you haven't already put in a new needle, I suggest that you do so in order to be sure that the issue isn't a bent needle. Lance

Thanks. Anyone else?

Has anyone used the OLFA cutters and if so, what are your thoughts compared to the Fiskars or Kai cutters? And how much does fabric weight matter for cutting wheel size" Thanks Lance

Call Bob at the number at the bottom of his post..... Before I really found this site I cut a new cork disk from a larger disc for my Necchi with an Atlas clutch to replace the crumbling leather disc it used to have. It would have been a lot easier to have the correct disc in hand. Lance

I'm far from an expert but I suspect that your machine is mechanically identical to the -25 etc except possibly for the length of some parts. The parts and operating manuals and the spec sheet are all linked on Consew's website: https://www.consew.com/View/Consew-Model-206RBL-25 Lance

I have a former military knife and accessory roll from a field kitchen set. I'll dig it out today and post some pictures (I hope). It has pockets for everything from peelers to a sharpening steel and has leather blade covers that go into the knife pockets. Lance

Hello from Pinnacle, NC. I'm a half hour north of Winston-Salem. Lance

Thanks. I'll look into it. Lance

Thank, Wiz When I posted the post I got a message stating that there was a size limit of 1.46 MB. I'm a bit of a dinosaur with computers and would appreciate any advice as to what to do. I don't remember having photo loading issues in the past although I am using a new phone. If I'm reading things correctly the pictures are around 3 MB. EDIT: I'm still not getting notices of replies to the thread and don't see a way to check or change that. And is there a time limit to edits? I don't see a way to edit the post from last night. Best regards to all, Lance
