Members Ray100 Posted September 4, 2015 Members Report Posted September 4, 2015 Hi im new to this forum , I have just gotten a new to me 206rb1 consew , the problem I am having is the stich length , its says in the book it can do 7mm stitch length ( wich is 3 3/8 stitches per inch ) but the best I could get it to do was 4 1/8 stitches per inch I replaced dog needle plate , and took it apart bottom end put it back together and fixing to set all the settings on this machine per the manual . Is there an adjustment that will reduce or lengthen the stitch other than the stitch lever ? Or 4 1/8 stitch per inch is the norm for this machine , any help would be appreciated thank you. Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted September 4, 2015 Members Report Posted September 4, 2015 Send us some pics of the machine. I know the machine model but want to see pics of it to see if it has been "played with". glenn Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted September 4, 2015 Members Report Posted September 4, 2015 Is your adjustment knob on the reverse lever loose? I can get about 5-6spi on my consew 206rb1 Quote

Members Ray100 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2015 No it's not loose I have tried pulling it out a bit to gain extra length but no luck Quote

Members Ray100 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2015 I have adjusted the play on that. the only play I am wondering is between the needle bar rock frame and the hinge stud . But I have measure the dog stroke with the adjusting lever at max stitch length an the stroke length is like .260 to achieve a 3 1/2 length it needs to be more like .290 of stroke Quote
Members Ray100 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 5, 2015 Colt is that the longest stitch your 206 Rb -1 can make? I bought mine because it could do longer stitches tha my 226 rb1 and had a bigger bobbin Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted September 5, 2015 Members Report Posted September 5, 2015 Let me check Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted September 5, 2015 Members Report Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) When I back my thread length all the way back, I can get 4.33 SPI. So looks like about the same as your machine. Edited September 5, 2015 by Colt W Knight Quote
