Averya Report post Posted November 4, 2014 Does anyone know If there is a leather roller foot available for either a Cobra 4, or a Consew 206RB-5? I've been trying to find one that will fit one of my machines. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you I am curious as to why you want to install a roller foot on a walking foot machine? ~Tramp~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Averya Report post Posted November 5, 2014 I, admittedly, do not know much about these machines. I am having problems with stitching close to the edge, even with a zipper foot. Also, I thought maybe a roller foot would not leave marks on the leather from the feed dog. Any insight would be very much appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglew Report post Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) ok you can get a roller foot for the consew... cheap on ebay. We use them for sewing 3-4 mm leather and be sure to get a set of feed dogs and file them down so as not to chew up the back of the leather.... also our machines are compound or needle fed Edited November 5, 2014 by biglew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are several options available for those machines --- I would suggest you give Bob a call at Toledo Industrial Sewing, or Nick at Nick-O-sew --- both are forum sponsors and will be able to get you fixed up with what you need... ~Tramp~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Compound feed walking foot sewing machines must have two feet alternating up and down. The inside foot and needle moves up/down and forward/backward. The outside foot moves up and down, opposite the action of the inside foot and needle bar. If the feet on your machine are too wide to let you sew close to a particular designated position, look into getting narrower feet. I have managed to buy very narrow zipper foot sets on eBay. One is left toe and the other right toe. Either will work on a Consew 206RB-x. As for Cobra Class 4 and Cowboy type harness stitchers, there are special left or right toe outside feet available. The inside foot is always about the same width. They are triple (compound) feed machines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
