garypl Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 I have a problem with a Consew 206RB-4 reverse stitch length and I hope someone can give me some tips. The reverse stitch length is @1/2 the length of the forward stitch length. I followed this video trying to adjust the reverse stitch length starting around 1:26 in the video. Problem is that the Feed Regulator Rod (item 35 in parts list under Feed Regulator section) will not move. I loosen the Pinch Screw (item 2) but cannot get any movement in the Rod. I sprayed the assembly with penetrating oil in case the whole assembly was frozen, but no help. Has anyone else had a problem with this adjustment? For now I have just been turning the workpiece around to back stitch, but sure would be nice to be able to reverse backstitch. Here is a picture of the screw and rod, looking down from the oil reservoir on the top of the head. Thanks for the help! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted September 10, 2018 Members Report Posted September 10, 2018 This is one rare case that a 206RB-5 does not have the same adjustment than the -4 models. They are very different, see attached parts page for the -4 machines. 206RB-4Parts_Pages.pdf Quote Industrial sewing and cutting, parts sales and service, family owned since 1977, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, 215/922.6900 info@keysew.com www.keysew.com
garypl Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks Gregg. I see the difference- do you have a procedure on how to adjust the stitch length so forward and reverse are equal? Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted September 11, 2018 Members Report Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) It's kind of locked in without anyway to adjust this area. I would look for something else here, really have to see the machine.

garypl Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks Gregg - I will search around for more information. Must be a way to equalize forward and reverse stitch length. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Never did figure out how to adjust - I have just been turning the piece around to backstitch. I haven’t done much of anything lately with my machines - been busy working and traveling on business. Will be home on Friday, hope to find some time to play a bit! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members katit Posted February 15, 2019 Members Report Posted February 15, 2019 Yep, this is the video where guy says you can’t setup forward/ reverse to be equal in all stitch lengths. Which is not correct. Quote
