I'm having a hard time with a welt foot of my Consew 205RB. The foot is 3/16 and I'm using 5/32 fiber flex type cord and when sewing it the foot runs off and or over the cording. I am using a lightweight fabric. I have never experienced this before but this machine is fairly new to me. Is the foot the wrong size? Is it a foot pressure thing? The cording is nice and firm.
Thanks for any help you might offer.
Hi Paul,
I have a 206RB and I use a 1/4'' welt foot with 5/32'' cord with no issues. I have tried using a 3/16'' foot with 5/32'' cord before and had the same issue that you are describing.

Yeah, I use a 1/4" welt foot on 5/32 welt with my JUKI. I think moving up to 1/4" will take care of it.
Yes, 5/32 cord is best sewn with 1/4 cord foot. I have for the Consew 205RB if you are looking for a set.

Yes Gregg,
I emailed you.
Good deal. I'll get back with you on Monday with price and avaiblity ASAP. I'm sure I have stock, but have to get the price.
Paul:
If you want to use one of mine, buzz on over and pick it up. I am not going to need one for a couple weeks.
Mine will fit on your 206.
Let me know.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the offer but I'm all set for now. I got through what I needed and will probably order one from Greg.
Where exactly are you anyway. I have a small garage shop in Spring Hill and work in Tarpon. You may have told me b4 but I forget.
I am just off 50 right near the Suncoast parkway.

Chris,
That is a kind and generous offer, but Consew 206Rb and 205rb feet are different, and not interchangeable.

Opp's. ;D

Yeah yeah, yeah, parts are sent, invoice is in the mail, 206RB feet on the wa...oh, no wait, damn!@# ;D
I always tell people to try things out for themselves when they have the chance. I had a guy for a short while on the phone going between Juki and Consew machines. He was coming in to pick up one or the other in a few days. I told him to come in, try both, and decide for himself. Until you can see, touch, feel, and use both, you don't really have any basis for making a comparison. Numbers, specs and sales brochures usually only add to the confusion in most cases.
