Art Report post Posted February 7, 2010 Those pins go into the backside of the head and allow you to pivot the machine back to get at the underside. I can't see them that well, but it looks like they might be in backwards. The pins should be able to lay flat toward the inside of the pan. For some, it is a little easier to put the pins in the head then vertically set the head into place, that way, they won't fall out.

James Hi Jimbob,this 206 is holding up good.I dont know if it will sew chap leather or not.I threaded it and began sewing.Cobra Steve said it will sew 20 oz. leatherYou should talk to him about buying one.He sells them.I bought mine from http://www.sewingmachineoutlet.com/ I was about 450.00 plus shipping.Next time I will check with Steve first.Navy Edited February 13, 2010 by Old Navy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
