COWBOY CB4500/441 NARROW FEED DOG + NEEDLE/THROAT PLATE???

[brmax]

Would it be correct that the harness feet are more designed for either a narrow feed dog, smooth or toothed. Or actually the sloted plate less any feed dog. Curious

I think the feet I have ordered from Uwe will have an advantage in that the left foot being wider will allow a bit more contact on the throat plate and help in keeping the job flatter as well. The way I designed these pouches I contact glue them first then I can flex them over when I run the stitch line down. I will let you know how they go when I receive them. I can only add that I hope Uwe gets some more into stock as I can see quite a few advantages being able to swap around the different feet options etc. Brian

Heres a couple of pics showing what I am describing above. Thankfully this jobs finished for now and 1/2 of the sewing machine cost is now booked out. Hopefully I'll have the new feet and stuff before the next 200 they want. Got 1 week left now to make 50 ring boxes.

Thanks for the thought again Darren. If I raise the feed dog any higher then it will hit the roller guide.If I then raise the roller guide I am back with he same problem with more of a kangaroo hop thrown in. Are the  7441-09-0092 Narrow feed dog and throat plate 7441-01-0064 Narrow throat plate able to be bought or not? Do you have in pictures of them? I have to say I'm a bit surprised that none of the dealers here have any answers to this as yet. Regards Brian

We have not been able to get the narrow plate and feed dog set. Possibly it is a Juki part number that got carried over when the manual was copied?

Thanks Darren, I would be good to see what they looked like but I have not had any luck finding any pictures. I will advise how the one's I've ordered from Uwe go when I receive them. All else failing I may think about getting some cast if a few here want to notify if they are interested. The site shows over 400 views so far on this post so I guess it may be possible. I think I will be wanting another set as I often chop and grind these things up to suit whatever the job needs.   Regards Brian

Good news. The parts have arrived and are now tested. By putting in the dog foot and needle plate I can sew to 2.5mm from the edge and not have the job sink down the hole. I just stitched some soft garment leather (1.6mm)4oz without even adjusting the tensions and just look at them pictures. The holes in the needle plate did not line up but it holds very well with the one anyway. I'm happy. Hassle Uwe if you want one. I'm off to try a wallet now.

You must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself . It wouldn't take much to open out that screw hole with a Dremel and a grinding bit.

Bit rough but what the hell I'll give it a go. Notice I opened up a slot in the centre foot today and that sure is a pleasure when threading up.

Where did you end up getting the narrow feed dog and throat plate from? I want to buy a set too.

Uwe's the culprit. They work great but they are not the normal Chinese cheese so opening up that hole a bit even with a carbide engraving burr is near to not possible.

1/2 cutting and gained 1/2 a mm. One hole holds down well anyway.
