Members joeyrsmith Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Very nice. Gives me ideas now. Just got a Singer 211g setup with a 1.75 pulley and its still too fast. Might steal your setup if ya dont mind Any tips or tricks with it? Thx Joe Edited January 11, 2014 by joeyrsmith Quote
Members pcox Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) There is a simpler way. Edited January 11, 2014 by pcox Quote
Members joeyrsmith Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Cool, pcox, my man---who has helped me like a Pope helping a sinner!!! I know, I know some Popes are better than other Popes! I mean a great Pope helping a bad sinner. Are you using a small pulley on the motor like I have or something bigger? I got the machine with a 3.5in pulley. Thx Joey Edited January 11, 2014 by joeyrsmith Quote
Members cdthayer Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 Good ideas jkbuzzbee and pcox. I’m sure there are a lot of us out here with older machines that need to be slowed down a little bit. I like the factory-built speed reducer on my Consew 225 (that I just got rigged up) well enough that now I’m starting to think about what I can do with my Singers 111W153 and 111G156 to tame them down a little. I don’t have another factory-built speed reducer, so thanks for the suggestions. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....." My sewing machines:Adler 205-370 (Hand Crank), Adler 205-64 (Hand Crank), Consew 226 (Clutch/Speed Reducer), Singer 111G156 (Hand Crank or Clutch), Singer 111W153 (Clutch), Singer 20U33 (Clutch), Singer 78-3 Needlefeed (Treadle), Singer 20U (Treadle), Singer 29K70 (x2) (Both Treadle/Hand Crank), Singer 96-40 w/Darning Foot (Treadle), Singer 31-15 w/Roller Foot (Treadle), Singer 31-15 (Hand Crank), Singer 16-41 (Treadle), Singer 66-1 (Treadle/Hand Crank), Singer 201K4 (Treadle/Hand Crank), Singer 216G Zigzag (Treadle/Hand Crank), Singer 319W (Treadle)
Members joeyrsmith Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Ok guys, help me out here a little. I see pcox has what looks like the original wheel with the stitch markings on it. My 211g has only one hub/wheel with stitch marks and belt channel. So my whole wheel would have to come off, ??? on how to regulate my stitch length has me a little baffled. Ideas on that would be great. Thx Joe Think I kinda figured it out. As long as there is something attached to the drive shaft, I can lock the hook shaft below with deck button and operate as usual. Edited January 11, 2014 by joeyrsmith Quote
