Members MarlinDave Posted January 21 Members Report Posted January 21 I replaced the thread tensioner on my Consew 225. Now the mechanism that releases the tension when the presser foot is up does not have enough travel to work. Do I need to bend the 3 cornered plate in behind, put in a longer rod through the machine, or is there an adjustment? No mention in the Navy manual. Quote
Contributing Member friquant Posted January 22 Contributing Member Report Posted January 22 I'm not familiar with the tension release on the Consew 225 specifically. Feel free to post pictures of the thread tensioner and the cavity in the machine head where it sits. On the Juki DDL-8700 clone I worked on, the tension release was adjustable by how far into the machine you inserted the whole tensioner before you tightened the lock screw. Quote friquant.

Members MarlinDave Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM Author Members Report Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM Bob Krovar said bend the plate to adjust. Will give it a try, or rob the plate off the old tensioner. Quote
Contributing Member friquant Posted Sunday at 03:44 PM Contributing Member Report Posted Sunday at 03:44 PM I can't always tell which parts on sewing machines can be bent. I've guessed wrong a couple times đź’” Quote friquant. Like a frequent, piquant flyer. Check out my blog: Choosing a Motor for your Industrial Sewing Machine
Members Constabulary Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM Members Report Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM Try the "tension release disc" from the old tensioner (the one with he small bar across the center hole) - just a guess.
