They either want to hit the drip pan, hit the bell crank off the roller, all kinds of stuff. It's not fun to be stuck up under the stand to make these adjustments the way you need to on the machine. See attached, make sure that we have the knee lifter bracket "A" arms mounted in such a way so that it engages the bell crank on the machine head correctly. Also, pay close attention to the bend on the "Lifting Rod", see attached image, that pushes the machine's bell crank, we usually like to bend these in a vice close to a a 90 degree. It's really a see touch feel thing, but I think if you check the A arm alignment this may help a lot here. Hope this helps. Thx!! I will into and see if it's something I really want to fool with. Probably not. Lol. I really just feel like some of these components should be more adjustable at this point (especially when your you're buying a new machine). do you u think I could do the foot lift thing on this machine??

All parts shown are identical and the same for a Singer 153W and Consew 227 models, to name a few. All parts shown are necessary for this to work, including the counter spring. This is the setup we use for the 206RB as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used it before on an old machine and really liked it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
