Members UncleRev Posted January 26, 2016 Members Report Posted January 26, 2016 Hey Folks, I came across an ad, for a Consew sewing machine. Seller says they don't know the model, since the model badge is missing. Can someone please help me identify it, or know where to look for a model number? Thanks! Quote

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 26, 2016 Moderator Report Posted January 26, 2016 That machine is a very good garment sewing machine. It can sew very fast, as long as the oil wicks haven't hardened up. You should be able to run it at about 4000 stitches per minute, or 66 per second. It will definitely get the job done is a short time. It uses the standard straight stitch system 16x257 needles. According to the old Consew info page, it is: "Suitable for stitching such products as blouses, shirts, men's, ladies, and children's apparel, lingerie, dresses, sportswear, work uniforms, jackets and coats" Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.
