Members pcox Posted October 18, 2014 Members Report Posted October 18, 2014 If you look at the ends of the plate you will see a small recessed screw at each end. loosen the screw that hold the plate just enough for it to work freely then lock the plate screws by tightening the little screw on the ends. You will be good to go. I think someone locked the adjustment so an operator could not change the stitch length. Quote
Members jdnbr Posted October 18, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks for the info. That did it. It's great having access to a wealth of knowledge that people are willing to share. It is highly appreciated. Quote
Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted October 18, 2014 Members Report Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) See attached image, I think a stitch length regulator/safety clutch parts breakdown is on order. Remove all check screws first, adjust for spring/ball pressure, then reinstall check screws to lock settings in place. If this mechanism appears to be new and not so improved over the preceding 111W stitch length and safety clutch reset system, you are not alone. These units are prone to give service issues. To make matters worse, this setup can easily confuse an operator when they are resetting the clutch or m, but most likely when they are adjusting stitch length, but that's even when it is working correctly. The issues compound when this unit needs to be cleaned and readjusted over time.

Members tribo korokan Posted March 10, 2015 Members Report Posted March 10, 2015 I notice that the singer 111 has the same set up with consew 229 that I just bought to change the stitch length.My own problem is that the plunger to lock it down on machine bed is missing. Can I stick a metal in that hole to lock in the notch and turn the handwheel on to change the stitch length? Quote

All you are doing, is stopping the cam plate from turning while you adjust the stitch length. And on a strange note for everyone else, I have a Singer 211G166 that I just went through, and it does NOT have a safety clutch. lol. Quote
