Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 20, 2016 Moderator Report Posted January 20, 2016 I just have checked a 236 manual and found this picture: Holy Mackerel! I have never seen that type of stitch length changer before.

Members DarkHorse Posted January 20, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2016 So with this info do you think it would be able to over lap leather for a leash and sew the 2 layers together? Also how similar are the 236G and the 236W? The manual listed is for the 236W.. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 Not sure if you will be pleased with the 236 they usually have quite short stitch length of approx 3 - 3.5mm. I´d test sew it before you buy it. Take your leather and thread to the seller and test it. Thats better than a thousand words. 236G is made in Germany 236W is made in the USA 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
