Members Darren Brosowski Posted December 11, 2015 Members Report Posted December 11, 2015 Seiko were initially contracted to build the machines as per the Singer drawings. Later they modified the machines but in some cases kept building the Singer version as that appeared to be what the market wanted.If you look at the parts lists you will see that Seiko/Consew use Singer part numbers. Forgive the terminology but compare the parts breakdown, the drive mechanism and the lack of reverse (needle feed only), the stitch length regulator between a Consew 28 and a Singer 78-3 and perhaps you'll see why I mistakenly referred to it as a clone.

Members maersdet Posted December 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 12, 2015 Is it possible to change out the throat plate to accommodate a larger needle? Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted December 12, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 12, 2015 Is it possible to change out the throat plate to accommodate a larger needle? You are asking for old parts that appear to be made of unobtanium. A drill bit should take care of that problem. Be sure you use Emory cloth afterward to remove burrs. You may have to move the shuttle to allow a much larger needle to clear it on the downstroke.
