206rb-1 stitch length problem

Recommended Posts

My 206rb-1 seems to be only getting around 4SPI at maximum when the manual says around 2.5 should be maximum. I believe it has something to do with the presser feet timing. I have tried to reset it according to a video I seen on youtube where you loosen the flywheel depending on thickness of material, then lower needle to the material and loosen the 10mm and retighten, but it still seems like it is way shorter then it should be getting. Anyone have any info on how to properly time / set these feet for the lowest maximum stitch per inch?

Something wrong with this statement?  Are you sure you didn't mean it the other way around?

Sorry if I am explaining it poorly. Im getting roughly 6mm stitch length with lever set to max, when it should be able to achieve a 10MM stitch length.

Got it.  That makes more sense.

Lift the pressure foot up & push the needlebar front to back,is there much play?

Sorry I don't have a 206rb-1, google did me wrong. Purchased the machine at a flee market and it had no tag. Its actually a 226 i think.
