Thanks for this Brotha Man....I got this same machine off of my Mom in Law and will be calibrating it for backpack straps, hip belts, etc.....Your time and thorough explanation was just what I needed....

Hey, I just got a Thompson PW-400, the motor and wheel spins when clutch isn't engaged, but when I engage the clutch, the machine seems to be locked up, motor doesn't move anything inside. Any idea what the first thing to check would be?

@drsfloa Great video. I am having issues with thread tension on this machine. I have adjusted bobbin set screw and top thread tension knob dozens of times and still lower thread is loose.

Thank you for this really well done video tutorial. I recently picked up a Thompson PW 103-A-GBP, the predecessor of this machine, and your video helped me adjust it perfectly.

can you add the walking foot parts to a regular machine ???

Thank You for all the time and effort that you put into this excellent Tutorial. Very Professional.

Excellent photography and nicely paced. Thankyou so much.

I bought a PW201 with a broken bobbin winder. Sailrite does not carry the part. I have tried the Sailrite LZ part from Sailrite but it isn't close. Has anyone found a retrofit or repair for the broken bobbin winder?

Excellent video. I was looking for something like this. Just a question, sailrite managed to increase stitch length to 6mm? Would you know which parts would be replaced to achieve that?

One comment I would like to make. The small chrome screw-on piece on the side cover that is located about 7:00 o'clock from your thread tension adjuster is 180 degrees reversed. It is supposed to hook back around to the main vertical plate. The function is to prevent the cover from moving when the foot up/tension release lever is operated. The cover is held on by two only screws and this is a third fastener to stop side plate movement. I realize it looks like a thread guide to "who knows where" but it has a real function. Again, thank you for a wonderfully useful video. And nice camera work and editing. Nice clear audio too. Do you still have that Thompson PW-201?

Very useful video. Thank you. I just thrifted one of these machines and I am sure it will need some TLC.

below is the secret video y'all are looking for...

🤺💐

Wonderful and so much help

Big help

We just acquired a Thompson PW 201 and this has been great to get acquainted with it. Thank you for this video.

My Thompson has the tensioners on the front like the Sailrite machines have. Very helpful video.

I just picked up a Thompson PW301 at a garage sale. It was cheap because they said the timing is off. I think it has all the problems you identified plus another couple.

Do the Thompson machines need to be cooled with a pan of oil underneath?

Thank you so much . I have searched this so much and you are correct nothing that demonstrates the walking mechanism

Looking for a bobbin winder....Sailrite sent me the wrong one. They said it would work but its to big.

Could you go deeper how to make the machine to turn.? Thanks.

Thank you. Do you have a video on how to lube it.

Great video! I’ve referenced it several times to get my 201 dialed in. I haven’t found anything else on line as thorough. Thank you.

What bobbins should I buy for this machine?

Voice over would have been nice

My friend gave me one of these machines. He used to repair sewing machines professionally and got it as a donation from a customer. He got it working pretty well. I had to jury rig the tensioner with half side of a pair of tweezers for a spring but otherwise that’s it. Between the two of us we brought it back from the dead. It sews almost anything. Seatbelts, backpacks, heavy cotton. I love it! Thanks for this video. May need to refer to it later on.

Those gloves will kill a trout, and to much junk

Nice info. and very detailed. I bought a Thompson years ago and it is still in the box, I never used it yet. I always wanted to do upholstery stuff. I'm not even sure what model it is. I'll have to check it and see which one. I remember it was expensive at the time.

AWESOME, GREAT JOB love mine and it still works. Mine has the bobbin arm that was broken when I got it, just pre-load bobbins but I love to find the part.

Thanks for an Awesome Job !

Heat setting on the iron?

Dude...that's arranging a fly pack musica!!!

Best video ever about walking foot, thanks so much.

This is beyond excellent. Thank you.

First of all thanks for the great video. This machine is exactly a Singer 15k with modifications lol, I was looking for details on how they work so maybe I could transform my singer into one (I don't have access to these machines in my country).

I was given a Thompson mini walking foot PW 103Aé Where could I get a manual or more information. Great video informative and easy to follow.

thank you for this excellent video, i tried to go on the internet to find a service manual and could not figure out a site to access a manual. i just came across your video and it gives me all the information i was looking for. i really appreciate the information given

Hello: I just ran across this video tonight which is a wonder that I hadn't seen it before. I have a Thompson PW 200 which I assume is very similar to the 201. I have not been able to find any guidance of any sort on this machine so this info from you is a boon. I have had mine for a couple of years and use it moderately. Very few issues but I am so glad to know how to make the adjustments you show. I am sure I will come back to reference this video from time to time. Thank you!

Thank you for this outstanding video. It covers a multitude of sins (uh, Thompson clones) that many of us have. I got lucky because my REX came fully functional. The drive belt was misaligned, so some time bending the bracket (a different design than your Thompson) to change the position and angle of the idler pulley took care of that. Next thing is to move the servo from my Singer machine to the REX. The Singer is awesome with the servo addition, but it doesn't have a walking foot nor does it use the large needles of the REX.

Very good vid. Great deal on this machine. Have you compared this to a Sailrite machine? Do you feel both are pretty much the same machine?

Thank you man I learned a lot from you

Do a video on inner and outer foot timing and heights.

Hi there I’m hoping someone can answer this question. I was gifted Thomson mini walking foot PW 103A . The people who gave it to me thought I could use this for quilting? Is this an adequate machine to quilt with?

Thank you excellent video, I'm new to fly fishing and the gear set up. This was the best video I've seen so far, and I've watched a ton.

You have the only and best video on this. I have a rex z and have had some problems. Your very informative. I need to know one thing on mine , I noticed and have no clue if it should be this way. My e-mail -gotahabit965@gmail.com. Please send me a message on how to contact you personally. Thanks

Nice video. Gave a lot of great ideas. What is the small bottle you insert on the outside of the bag? I’m a spin casting fisherman and want to rig bag for that. Would like to find small bottles like that to store hooks.

This is a great video. Thanks for posting it. It looks like I can apply this information to use on my Sailrite clone. I had a few hiccups when I first got it, but after some break-in it's working well now. With this video as a guide I'm confident in doing any needed adjustments in the future.

the larger wheel they sell im not that big of a fan of because with like a 2.5mm stich my small wheel can zip through a straight stich. the carbon pile foot pedal makes gearing down not as needed compared to an "electronic" pedal that pulses the motor
