Members Keebz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 Is it the tension bracket? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted July 13, 2015 Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) New tension units are about $12 - $20 on Ebay or at about the same price at most machine delaers. These TU´s fit on many many machiens... Singer, Dürkopp, Consew, Seiko, Juki - they areall using this tension assy. Look for a Singer 111 tension assembly or tension unit and you´ll find what you need. scroll down http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=111+tension&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X111w+tension.TRS0&_nkw=111w+tension&_sacat=0 Edited July 13, 2015 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members shoepatcher Posted July 13, 2015 Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 You broke the tension stud #201224. They are pressed in to the tension assembly. Do you have the tension washers, the small pin and the tension nut? If not, you will need these parts as well. You will have to remove the entire assembly to fix it. glenn Quote
Members Keebz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Yes I have all the other pieces. I ordered the tension assembly. I do not know why it snapped off It looks to be bent though. I was wrapping the thread around the washer and it just fell off. Weirdest thing though, my bottom thread was coming up through the top piece of leather. It left just enough of the post to screw the tension knob back on against the washers. And my tension is where it needs to be. Stitches now look perfect! Edited July 13, 2015 by Keebz Quote
Members Constabulary Posted July 13, 2015 Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 Keep the parts from the old tension assy - you never know...

Members Yetibelle Posted July 13, 2015 Members Report Posted July 13, 2015 I have used Sharp Sewing Supplies via e-bay. They have most of the parts for the older machines and they are priced well. They have a few Complete Tension brackets that say part 240446, some are less than others. I see one for $10.39 that looks like a good deal. Quote One day I hope to learn how to sew.....

Members Keebz Posted July 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for all the help. Is thread tension the only thing that would make the stitches not be uniform and nice looking? I've changed and changed and changed the tension top and the bobbin to no prevail. Sometimes it'll sew beautiful stitches for a little bit then it's right back to seeing the bobbin thread being pulled up into the top stitching holes Quote
