Thank you guru ..I am from India.. Your video helped me a lot . Even I too purchased the same machine in seconds and here no one knows the operation of this machine .
Good morning thanks so much god bless you I was waiting to you’ll help me thank you so much God bless you you giving me a lot of information that I did not know thanks so much
Hello, I'm a complete newbie to sewing and I recently purchased an industrial sewing machine, the singer 411 u967aa. I'm struggling to find any information on it and was wondering if you know much about this machine? I've tried to find videos on it but not luck at all. Also, I love your videos. Well done. Liked and subscribed!!
I love to watch your videos the are very good explaining I have watched this one many times I Recently bought a single 212 u539a Double needle and I am having some trouble making Longer stich on it I already try to do what you explain in the video but it just not working it just stop at some point when Rotating the wheel and that’s as far as it goes I was wondering if you would help me out
When you are depressing the button and making your adjustment, you will turn the hand-wheel in one direction to increase and the other direction to decrease the stitch length. Try the other direction.
Yes I try that too but at some point stop and if I keep pushing it then it gets Out of time.. Is it possible that maybe it comes like that form the factory
thanks for the info. I have a singer 591 with a singer motor and control box. I am trying to find out information about the control box. Is it possible to do a video about that?
I have a Singer 211G156, and this seems like a very similar machine - It looks to use the same casing With some modifications for additional adjustments and the built-in bobbin winder. Your video has be wondering if it would be possible to swap the bobbin hook for a larger size in my machine.
Hello. Good review. I have about the same sewing machine. Only the top winding of the bobbin is closed on the other side. The inscription on the machine is overwritten. I can not determine the exact modification.
Hello! I have 211 U566A and it has same looks and buttons. How can I adjust the foot height that You talk in this video? Thanks for these videos, I like watching those.
hello, I am curious about the bobbin hook set up . I looked at a 211 recently with a standard g sized bobbin and passed on it for that reason. I have a Brother LS2-837B which is a clone of the 211 I believe but it has a huge bobbin in comparison. my question is, can you swap a g bobbin hook set up for an M or N bobbin? Thanks for the video too I love these 211, 226, 553 type machines for boat upholstery
Some 211's have the big and some the small. I suspect that with enough parts the conversion could be made but I don't know that for sure. See if you can find a parts book with exploded views, maybe you can figure it out from there.
Alexander, oddly enough I have the last 2 machines you have reviewed. Actually my 211 is a 211U567b, but seems to have all the same features as this machine. I am in the process of adding a solenoid to the reverse with a button below the tension discs.
I have an opportunity to purchase a well maintained and recently serviced singer 211A567AB. Do you think it will do leather sheaths for knives? The person that is selling used this for leather and vinyl upholstery but they have never done sheaths. What do you think is a fair market value?
I have a 211u166a, very similar, Brownish, smaller bobbin, servo and pulley reduction. Was this a review and or sale or one of your personal machines. I use mine for outdoor equipment and upholstery applications. I recently purchased both a Consew 146 rb and 146rb compact for sail work and neoprene. Just started using these after double pedal motor/ lift foot and servo modifications. Any thoughts needle thread combinations or the needle tips available,( trip blade, ball, single point). Sailrite has many of the extra feet so still loading up on accessories.
Great video as always 😊 I’m looking to getting an industrial machine. I’ve got an old vintage singer 201 but she struggles a little with vinyl. I have been offered the consew 263 but I’m concerned about timing belt and it does look a little worn. Would it be easy to change the clutch to a servo?
What would you recommend for a first sewing machine? I make wallets, belts, and guitar straps currently and have plans for a holster all out of "veg-tan" leather. I know everyone's cookie cutter response of a "triple feed" (aka compound feed or unison feed depending on brand) industrial sewing machine with a servo motor to get it slow... But of that criteria, is there "one to get"? Is there maybe a budget brand or version? Or maybe one that is easy to learn on or maintain? There's so many brands and models, I get lost. I also go back & fourth on whether or not to buy used. Should I just keep my eye out for a used "unison feed industrial" in my area? Or buy new, since a new one will require less maintenance (of which I don't know how to do)? When looking at used machines, I get nervous because I don't know if I'm over paying. At one point I decided to go with the "sure thing" and pony up and get that new machine from Tandy, I think it's called the "stitch master". Then reading reviews people were saying even that is over priced... Ugh.
If it has these features, and is a name brand industrial, and it is in good condition it is hard to go wrong. Make sure you can get parts and you should be able to keep it going a good long time. If you change you mind about it, it holds its value fairly well, you can sell and buy the next.
If you are just starting, you should also look into a 'Servo' motor and a speed reduction system. Both of these things will help you control the machine much, much better than the Clutch type motors.
@@AlexanderDyer basically someone it's selling me a machine like this, and I'm nota pretty sure about they Quality and if is trustworthy.... Would You recommend it?
These machines are great. Singer made good heavy reliable machines. Having said that, condition is everything so it is up to you to make sure that it is in good working condition. See what I mean?
Thank you for the tutorial. I am looking at handing down my 111w154 to my son to learn on and found a 211u566 for sale. What would you think the largest thread is I could use on one of these ?! TYIA
I have a timing video on a Juki. It will be different but similar. Maybe it will give you enough to figure it out for your machine. ua-cam.com/video/pMPkUqA3kSk/v-deo.htmlsi=Nl6v3qWg10-1JCmC

that is a dream machine.....one day!
Thank you guru ..I am from India..
Your video helped me a lot . Even I too purchased the same machine in seconds and here no one knows the operation of this machine .
I've got a green 211G166 with a servo motor and pulley reduction which gives me about 1 stitch per second..... great machine.
Sweeeet

Hey Alex will a singer 211a157aa be good for auto upholstery? I’m looking to buy my first machine.
Sure, I recommend most any triple feed for auto upholstery. ua-cam.com/video/sBavkfataiM/v-deo.html
Hello! I have 211 U566A and it has same looks and buttons. How can I adjust the foot height that You talk in this video? Thanks for these videos, I like watching those.
It is just like changing the stitch length but you use that top button instead of the button in the bed of the machine.
I Ned to know the price
those are 2 pole( 1725 rpms ) and 4 pole ( 3450 rpms ) motors .
Ahah

How much is it
Wow, how many machines do you have Sir Alexander Dyer?
about a dozen
Hello how much price of this machine and thanks

That is a quite a coincidence. Sounds like a great modification.👍

I can't seem to get mine to work right. I know it is something that I am not doing right.

May i ask why sometimes the stitches skip? What seems to be the problem
Could be timing or a number of other mechanical adjustments. If skipping at turns then watch this.ua-cam.com/video/D3QuCF6zATg/v-deo.html
Porque nao traduz pro brasileiro.pois tenho uma maquina desta
It is a good sewing machine.💪
Where can I get one
Alexander Do you have any idea the year of fabrication of this machine?

So disappointing! I need to see how the timing is set
