- Cynthia Bleskachek is back in this Upholstery Method to detail the ins and outs of the Consew 226r, an industrial walking foot machine that is a popular choice in many upholstery shops.
Thank you for this video. You have explained every question this novice had. Very helpful!
Fantastic and thorough explanation. I have the same Consew 226 -R that I purchased in 1982 when I was taking auto upholstery at a trade school while in high school. It has sat dormant for approximately 8 years until I started it up again last year after I retired from my profession. I kept the machine in case my 1st career option failed, I could have something to fa,ll back on, now the machine is still going strong. I'm glad I found your video because I had forgotten about some of the things you went over. Thank You!
Same here. Bought mine in 1973, and haven’t used since about 1985. Definitely had forgotten some of the points you covered. Thanks!
What's the difference between a standard 'walking foot' machine verses a 'compound walking' foot like the Consew 206rb?
❤
Your tutorial was excellent. I just bought a consew 226 r-1 and after watching ur lesson, i am off and running.
Great video and very good explaining things about an industrial machine, thanks so much
I bought one recently and had to service it myself mind you I never worked on sewing machines and after taking parts off and cleaning it was tedious to get everything in timing again, there are a lot of small hidden parts that have to work in conjunction with each other to have it working smoothly. But this was my cost to educating myself on how sewing machines work and was worth it. Now I can basically set ANY part that I feel is out of standard and get it perfect. I don't recommend my approach as I've rebuilt MANY large scale cast iron machinery so I have an inclination on how things work or can figure out. It is a great machine for heavy fabrics like ripstop canvas and leather and punches through them with ease having a servo motor upgrade.
I just got my Consew 226R last week and this was very helpful as I did not get any paperwork with the machine. Thanks for all of the info. And you are right, it does not like light material.
I just bought the machine this month,so I am leaning from you guys thanks 🎉
Great video! I have the same machine and starting to do more and more with it!
Excellent tutorial,thanks!
Wow, I'm glad I found this channel
Thank you for educating me on this machine. I have had this machine for over five years and I can’t use it properly. Thank you. Once again now I can’t use it well.
excellent video. Thank you
best video yet on threading the machine, bought mine used and got the 5 minute how to class from the owner and immediately forgot everything. SWhere do you buy your thread and prewound bobbins?
I'm interested in which way you turn the thumb screw on top of machine that controls the outer foot pressure. I had no clue about the wing nut to adjust the height of the inner foot. So thankyou. S@
thanks for posting. can you confirm the wing nut adjustment at the rear, adjusts the 'lift' of the pressor feet. whereas the two knobs on the top of the machine adjust the individual pressor foot pressures? I am new to my 226, so looking for guidance.
Hello, I installed a new tensioner on my 223r (pretty much the same thread path), but I can’t get that click to sound when I thread through it. I’m new to this machine and to sewing. Any suggestions as to what to look for or do? Thank you!
Your clutch motor seems a lot less sensitive than the one on my pfaff 545h3 mine is very hard for me to sew at a slower speed so maybe you know it there is some maintenance
on the motor that I need to do. The only way I can get it to sew slow is to tap,tap,tap on the pedal. I know I can purchase a servo motor but yours seemed much more controlable. thanks
works good with leather too
To address the con of not having much control……. I have the 206rb and I recently had to have the motor replaced. The new motors that are made for these machines are super quiet and give you so much more control over such a powerful (and super loved workhorse) machine. Definitely recommend switching to an electric motor!
Both are electric, you probably meant a servo motor with variable settings for speed.
Original is diesel steam powered hybrid @@kazykamakaze131
Hi I need a bobbin case for the 226r-1 I cannot find an original just the singer and the cheap Amazon ones any help would be appreciated thanks
Is it 3 feed walking foot with reverse
What size needle you use and thread sizes thank you
👏🏽👏🏽
How do adjust lower tension? The bottom of the stitch is making loose loops
\
bottom tension is adjusted using the small side screw on the bobbin case. Clockwise adds more tension by forcing the small metal arm/tab against the case.
Too bad this craft is not in trade schools anymore. We need more people doing this craft.
