Art Report post Posted August 20, 2008 Hi Luke, The Consew 227 is a lot like the Singer 153W series of machine. The 227-R series of Consews have reverse which the Singer 153 never had. Same needles generally, usually the 135-7 or 135-16. The 153W103 is probably the best of the 153s, it also has feed dogs.

[/quote I think you got the answer but Consew copied the Singer 153k or W 103 when they did the model #227. The made a few improvements. The added reverse on the 227R-1 and both machines have a wing nut in the back to do a quick adjustment on the amount of foot lift in the walk. On the Singer 153 class, you had to use a screw driver on the cam on the main shaft to adjust the amount of lift in the walk. Consew system so much better. glenn miller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
