Need help identifying Consew machine

Recommended Posts

The model#WB6710153

I'm trying find out the model of this and repair it. It works going forward by hand and the feet move as well as the needle.

looks like a Consew 563 which is a cone of the singer 111w range, a nice leather machine

Thanks. Know of any manuals for this machine? I suspect it is going to need some TLC at least before its ready for use. My uncle repaired these as a hobby so I suspect it will need some work, also a motor and stand.

Looks like a very early Consew 226, or one that has possibly had the handwheel replaced with a Singer model.

I had a link to the Navy Singer 111 Manual and it won’t link now. Anybody got a current one?

Thanks everyone.  I've got a lot of work it seems to get this ready for use but maybe by winter I'll be ready. Then I get to learn how to sew LOL.

Looks about like my 225 and it stitches right on. 

Where are you located?

Looks identical to my Seiko STW 28 B ,but a single needle,   and same size fly wheel , ...and reverse :yes: 

I wouldn't mind that machine myself.  You can't get piping feet for  the twin needle machine.

Good find that.

Years ago all Consews were made by Seiko,if he looks underneath he'll find Seiko cast in the metal.

I'm located in SW Virginia about halfway in between Roanoke and Blacksburg. I mostly do knife making but I've wanted to get into sheaths and some other leather goods so this worked out. My uncle passed away a few years ago and he followed my knife making and wanted me to have some of his items to use them.

Mine is set up for 138 thread. There is a guy on here named Uwe who has one running 277 thread.

I checked and you're right LOL. On the bottom it has Seiko in the casting.

Any suggestions on thickness of leather this could handle? Until it was gifted to me I was considering calling you guys about one of the cowboy sewing machines but that was going to be next year when I'm settled into the new house and shop.
