 I couldn’t upload to forum  (files too big), so I shared an iCloud album with 3 pics.  Any issues seeing the pics, please advise.

Yes, we have an issue.  Third party links are often broken due to the person posting the links changing permissions, moving the file, or deleting the file.  Sometimes the third party changes their protocols or goes out of business.  The post and often the thread become useless to future readers.  When you come across posts with broken links that had the info you wanted, maybe you will understand how frustrating that can be.

Please post your photos on this site.

Thanks to @kgg for sharing invaluable input for what I should look out for while purchasing a used industrial.

Glad they helped. A little cleanup and she should be good to go.

Best of Luck,

Pic posted.  Do you have any pics to post?  Interested in your Consew.

sojourner,

Very nice! That looks like one Beefy machine! I'm sure that is going to give you a lifetime of great sewing. I really like the way the table is set up! I've been thinking of creating something like that around my table. Yes, I'll post pics of mine as well. She is at the shop, got her all cleaned and tuned and adjusted last Thursday and Friday. Then was able to finish up an upholstery job I had to set aside when my Pfaff quit on me. I'll post those photos later today. Thanks for posting yours!

I was just fixing to try an online resizer and it looks like you may have resized for me.  Sorry for any inconvenience.  If the external link is still there, I will remove it.

Next pics will be resized and uploaded to this site.

thanks!

When I downloaded the photos from your host, they were around 400kB so would fit.  They could be sized smaller down to say 1280 x 1024 pixels approximately and be even smaller.  I didn't check to see if there was a choice of resolution for the downloads, but if there is, it may be an easy method for you to use.

Adding Photo of Big Barb the Sewing Machine

Sojourner,

Okay, This is Big Barb! LOL. I think she is a Consew 255 RB2, not absolutely sure though, since her badge is gone. I'm really putting this machine to use daily. Got the stitch perfect with #138 thread on top, #92 thread in bobbin. What's been real nice is that the bobbin is "Large" which is the "U" sized bobbin. I am pretty thrilled with that. This lady is a smooth stitcher!

Unless somebody has custom fitted a Juki hook and milled out the chamber it resides in, your bobbins are M style, not U.

Bib Barb looks quite strong and sturdy.  Congrats!

Suzelle -nice machine.  I am curious, why the 92 on the bobbin vs 138?  (Sorry if there is an obviois reason...still new the industrials).
