Members BrownChicken Posted May 7, 2017 Author Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 For decals keelersales.com - also sells on eBay. Tell him Patricia Elaine sent you! just because he went above and beyond to help me out before I want him to know I sing nothing but gold for his company! Hands down the most professional and dedicated artist I've found! Really does an amazing job and he stands by his work. They look amazing in person and sparkle so nice in the light, you'd think they were original brand new decals (honestly I think the quality is a little nicer on his LOL!) So I bought the juki thread guide tension release and after a little dremel work it's SO MUCH BETTER than the crap before! I am very sad they do not make such an outstanding part ready made for the 111 but a little sparks and it for perfect. The release lever that actually engages the pin was wider than the slide. My next issue is i got it adjusted professionally - I was utterly sick of this thing after putting in so much work I was not wanting to tinker anymore! Well the foot lift was never very high. My dinky portable sailrite lifts way higher. After putting the new part on the presser bar I played a little with the machine and now not only is my lift low but the lift of the feet while walking is poo poo now too Ugh! There are excellent resources here so cross your fingers I don't have to end up taking my machine back and having it adjusted again because I tinkered with stuff I shouldn't have haha Quote
Members Constabulary Posted May 7, 2017 Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Do you have a manual for this machine? The procedure of adjusting the foot lift while walking is mentioned in it - easy task if the mechanism is not gummed.

Members leecopp Posted May 7, 2017 Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 Hey Constabulary - those are the best scans I have seen ... were they online or yours? Frustrating that C and D both look about the same in the figures. My 111w155 is out being fostered at a new home with the hope of adoption.. But .. if that beast ever comes back to my house I am gonna put a dab of paint in there to make it easier to distinguished (old guy eyes you know). Happy Day L Quote
Members Constabulary Posted May 7, 2017 Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 they are mine - I invested some $$$ and bought original manuals for my machine (approx $25 incl shipping to Germany) Nothing beats original manuals. You will notice the difference when you look at the screws D has a very coarse thread 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

You will notice the difference when you look at the screws D has a very coarse thread Those are really good scans. Is there any way you can scan to upload maybe for a small fee so I can print? I was looking at the manual how to change the feet height while sewing and was kind of intimidated because my sewing repair guy had said I really threw it out of adjustment because I took all that out to clean it lol. But maybe now it's adjusted I can play with it via the manual? do you have any idea how to adjust the foot lift in general when you raise it? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted May 8, 2017 Members Report Posted May 8, 2017 Will scan the manual sooner or later but I have not the patience at the moment - sorry. Maybe this thread gives you some helpful hints: 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

mikesc Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Appreciate the thought yetibelle, But..I ( for one ) would rather see links to "guides " and pdfs" etc that do/es not require one to have google account, or create one, or "log into one" ( or an account anywhere else than leatherworker.net )..if any guide or pdf or file is too big to upload here directly,, the mods can do it.. Same applies to photos.. Lot of people recently are taking to uploading their images to other sites where to see them you have to accept a whole pile of 3rd party tracking cookies connected to the ads and or twitter, facebook , pinterest cr*p buttons on those sites ( and if you want to get rid of them afterwards they can take a long time removing all of them ) or to be forced to create accounts on those sites to see the images ( and all the ads from people who are not advertising supporters of this forum )..whereas we are all here with accounts anyway..and can upload the guides, pdfs, and photos right here.. Google docs and google drive ( and other 3rd party sites ) can, and have been used ( very recently in the case of google docs ) to serve malware ..not by you ;-) , but it is not advisable in general to trust links to google docs and google drive..or the MS version of it, et al.. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/03/google_docs_hit_phishing_email_campaign/ and search "google docs malware" for further reading.. and a huge amount of malware gets served by sites that run ads that are not hosted on the sites themselves..like all those photo sharing sites that people here like to upload their photos to.

Sorry I'm a little confused, but that is normal. Does the link I added ask you to make a Google account before you can see it? I thought I just made is a link to the PDF public and you could get to it without an account? If there is a better way to share these larger files I am all for it I understand the concern.

The document you uploaded to your Google account requires the viewers to also have Google account, or to create one. You can drag and drop or choose a file to upload directly into a post using: "Drag files here to attach, or choose files " Then the viewers can either download the pdf, or open it in their default pdf reader, which in Windows 10 is called Twinui 111W152_W153_W154_W155.pdf 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.
