Pettan Report post Posted October 1, 2019 Newbie here. I have a Singer 211g266 which I can't seem to get the stitchlength to be longer than 4-5mm. Anyone can point me in the right directions to adjust it? Have read the manual available on supsew. Adjusted the needle bar rock frame and the synchronous feeding. Hook timing seems right, timing belt is aligned. Just read about the adjustment of the eccentrics, does that alter the stitchlength.? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pettan Report post Posted October 1, 2019 Also this part on my machine. No 8 is turned 90 degrees counterclockwise compared to the pic in the manual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 2, 2019 The longest stitch length on the 211G166 is 5.1mm so when you are at 5mm you have reached the max. I´d say. Better post pictures of the actual machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better post pictures of the actual machine. Ooh. I read 7mm per stitch but that might been the 165. 166 is 5mm like you say Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) well, when you already figured your problem is on the underside of the machine then a picture of the underside could probably help. However I guess the stitch length "problem" is solved since you have a 5mm stitch length on your 211G166, right? Anyway - the 211G166 has 5.1mm and the 211G165 has 7.3mm - thats true. But as far as I can tell the 211G165 has no reverse. Edited October 2, 2019 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pettan Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Will take a pic of the underside later tonight when I'm off work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 2, 2019 sorry - mistyped or misread - you have 211G266 - not 166. Still, the 211G266 also has 5.1mm stitch length. Here is an extract from a Singer sales brochure: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pettan Report post Posted October 6, 2019 Anyone have an idea of why the reverse lever moves like that? Is it suppose to do that.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoepatcher Report post Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) That post with the ball at the end was for a singer light. I remove that entire post off them on the Singer machines. The newer gooseneck LED lights so much better. Edited October 7, 2019 by shoepatcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pettan Report post Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks. Then I will remove my post also. Been wondering what it was for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
