206-rb-4 question. What position of stitch lenght dial must be set when we setting up timing? My case - everything is OK under 6 mm stitch and in reverse, but needle meets metal when forward more than 6 mm.
Technically, stitch length should be set to minimum for hook timing procedure, but I haven't seen it make any real difference. You might just need to centralize the feed dog. That's done at maximum stitch length so you can confirm the needle doesn't strike the feed dog in forward or reverse. Best of luck with it.
@@NoemieRoy-ks4fr To see if the screw is in the groove, remove the screw, and look down the threads with a flashlight. You may need to loosen both screws and rotate the hook to get the screw aligned with the groove. Then start over setting the timing. Thanks
Missing a stitch is often a hook spacing issue, but timing can cause that too. Frayed upper thread can be too small of a needle for the thread you're using. Also a missing or damaged needle bar thread guide will fray upper thread (or forgetting to thread through that guide). Hopefully it's something simple.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker I watched 3 of your videos.... everything seemed to be out of adjustment. Adjusted hook spacing and timing and needle height. Seems to be working great. Thanks for making these videos. Very helpful..
Also.... how would one know if the hook needed replaced. It's pretty old. The hook looked a bit flattened where it passes the needle. I don't know if that's normal.
Just bought a 206RB on Amazon through your link. Thanks for these very CONCISE informative videos.
Thanks William, I appreciate you! Best of luck with the shiny new machine.
I'm in the upholstery business and always relied on my sewing machine repair guy. Your videos helped me do it myself. Thanks so much!
Hey that's really cool. What a nice feeling to fix it yourself. Thanks for letting me know.
I need it to replace Rotary hook. But I could not get the timing I watch many videos. This man most helpful video. Thank you 😊

Thank you, sir!
Thank you very much.
What if you change needle size and the distance changes between the scarf and the hook? 3:11
As long as you're using the right needle system, changing between a size 18 and 22 won't make enough of a difference to matter. Thanks
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Excellent! Thanks for the reply. You have the best vintage machine tutorials on the tube.
If the screws was loosen at 1:25, how can i fix that corectly in the groove ? I have a consew model 290 (Sorry i am french so my english is bad)
You'll need to move the screw back to the v groove. Then reset the timing as described in the video. Good luck!
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker how can i see if i am in it ?

I’m new to the Consew 206RB5. Will it do a zig zag stitch?
Hi Wendy! The Consew 206rb5 is a walking foot machine that does straight stitch. It doesn't offer zigzag. Thanks
Do these concepts apply to the 406rb-2t?
As a side loading Consew walking foot, the timing procedure will be similar. Thanks
My 206rb-1 frays the thread sometimes and occasionally misses a stitch or two. Would the timing or needle to hook distance adjustments be the problem?
