Consew Sewing Machines - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
I have a Consew 206rl and it won't sew on double layers of leather but sews fine on single layers. What adjustments can I make
Sewing on double layers of leather can be challenging, and it's important to have the machine properly adjusted to handle the thickness. Here are some adjustments you can try:
- Needle size: Make sure you are using the correct needle size for the thickness of your leather. A larger needle may be required to penetrate the layers.
- Tension: Adjust the tension of the upper thread. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the needle to break or skip stitches. If it's too loose, the stitches may be uneven.
- Presser foot pressure: You mentioned you have already adjusted the presser foot pressure, but to clarify, turning the adjustment screw clockwise will increase the pressure, while turning it counterclockwise will decrease it. You may need to increase the pressure for thicker materials.
- Stitch length: Increase the stitch length for thicker materials. A shorter stitch length can cause the machine to struggle to sew through the layers.
- Speed: Slow down the speed of the machine when sewing on thicker materials. This will help the machine to handle the thickness and prevent skipped stitches or broken needles.
If none of these adjustments work, you may need to take the machine to a professional for further inspection and repairs.
I'm having issues with my last spool of thread not joining with the other threads when I start sewing
There could be a few different reasons why your last spool of thread is not joining with the other threads when you start sewing. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:
- Tension issue: Check that the tension on all of your threads is set correctly. If the tension is too loose or too tight, it can cause the thread to not join properly. Make sure that your tension is set correctly for the type of fabric and thread you are using.
- Thread quality: Make sure that the last spool of thread you are using is of the same quality as the other threads you are using. If the thread is of lower quality, it may not join properly with the other threads.
- Thread path: Check that the thread is following the correct path through the machine. If the thread is not following the correct path, it may not join properly with the other threads. Make sure that the thread is threaded correctly through the machine.
- Needle issue: Check that your needle is the correct size for the type of fabric and thread you are using. If the needle is too small or too large, it can cause the thread to not join properly.
- Bobbin issue: Check that your bobbin is inserted correctly and that the thread is wound onto the bobbin evenly. If the bobbin is inserted incorrectly or the thread is unevenly wound onto the bobbin, it can cause the thread to not join properly.
- Cleanliness: Make sure that your machine is clean and free of lint and debris. Build-up of lint and debris can cause the thread to not join properly.
By checking these possible causes, you should be able to identify and fix the issue with your last spool of thread not joining with the other threads when you start sewing.
