Improving a Singer 241-12 To Do Furniture/Car Upholstery-TUTORIAL 7

[@ramloganfracic5761]

This machine is really strong and durable. It is made to last more than a lifetime. I have one so I can confirm this.Thank again. Bless you.

[@jackofalldave]

I have the same 241 and changed the motor out to an electronic motor. I had to get a very small pulley for the motor to slow it down enough to get a controlled stitch. I liked your idea of converting it to a roller foot and I have the parts to do it next. Very nice video on upgrading this type of commercial machine! Thanks for your videos.

Hi Miguel, I am going to try to answer all of your questions. The Industrial Singer 111w150 Sewing Machine at a the price of 200 USDollars, is a bargain...provided that, it is in good shape with all of its parts, ...besides you are mentioning it is walking-foot, ideal to do upholstery...BTW, I never had one, but with the trade mark is more than enough to express a judgement. The pfaff 145 is an excellent german sewing machine, more ideal to do general upholstery and sew leather...the price is OK if everything is original and in good condition. The consew 226r is also a good original, heavy duty, japanese machine, and the price is ok. If I were to choose one from the three, I'd rather choose the pfaff 145 ...it depends on the money in your pocket. 1. The common size to do upholstery is the 'standard polyester thread 138' for a needle size 18(110) to 22(14); a thicker thread can be used to do 'on top stitches', also polyester number 207 for a needle 22(140) to 23(160) 2. Regarding the best contact cement, we have two, one that is applied by hand with a brush or spatula and the other very fluid applied with a painting gun...about trade marks, I cannot recommend, because, I am in Mexico, and suppose you are in USA. I use a yellow glue which comes in cans or bottles...check these links if you are in USA : www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-32-fl-oz-Weldwood-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525 www.tandyleather.com/en-usd/home/department/leather-cement-glue/2525-360.aspx www.ebay.es/itm/Petronios-Master-All-Purpose-Cement-Glue-Shoe-Repair-Adhesive-Glue-4-oz-/291064753112 Do a test beforehand trying out one of these products. 3. The common stitch in upholstery is 5 mm...it could be 6 mm or on the contrary 4 mm 4. We can do upholstery with 'an industrial, simple transportation, regular sewing machine' but, it would be better to sew heavy materials with an 'industrial, triple transportation/walking foot, sewing machine'...the feet compound help us to defeat/overpass bulky parts of material. Hope it helps, Cesar

[@jesusacosta558]

hola amigo , tengo una pfaff serie 1163 recta , es posible hacerle ese trabajo ami maquina ese mismo trabajo de lo del video de la singer a la pfaff 1163

[@Cechaflo]

Por supuesto que si puede hacerle algunos ajustes que sean necesarios para hacer trabajos de tapicería. Hace muchos años llegué hacer tapicería con una maquinita Singer de las negritas...la suya es industrial y mas fuerte...a lo mejor solo necesita cambiar la plaquita base, unos dientes un poco mas altos, una aguja mas gruesa y un pié de presión de rodaja. Cuando ocupe volver a coser materiales delgados, nada mas cambiaría otra vez estos aditamentos y todo seguirá igual.

[@jesusacosta558]

lo de los dientes y la planchuela de la misma ya lo hice, pero lo de la aguja no! sera por eso que revienta el hilo, que numero de aguja amigo Cechaflo hay que comprar? y gracias por su repuesta

[@Cechaflo]

Puede ser una aguja 120=19 o 140=22 ...no olvide que el hoyo de la 'placa base' va de acuerdo con el grosor de la aguja y esta junto con su hilo debe pasar libremente. Hay placas que vienen listas con diferentes diámetros de hoyos para que pase la aguja. Si no consigue va a tener que ampliar con una broca de 'carburo de tungsteno', porque esta placa es un poco dura y además trae un baño de cromo. Cheque que la aguja no vaya a pegar en el 'gancho' o costado del 'porta bobina'...de ser asi tiene que regular.

[@Cechaflo]

You have got a good sewing machine. There would not be much problem to attach the roller foot. Do not forget to change the needle plate for a new one that has a wider hole to easily let the new needles(18, 16) to cross down through. While the machine is off you could carefully check (moving it by hand) if the thicker needles really touch something beneath or it is the rubbing against the plate hole. If it is really touching something beneath it would be necessary to move the shuttle a very little to right side (there are three little bolts that fasten the shuttle mechanism). I have realized the Brother machine you have is similar to the Singer I show in my video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vZmWqvpLOBatU

[@Cechaflo]

En el min, 3:42 se muestra la 'placa de aguja' y su correspondiente 'peine de arrastre'. La rodaja debe montar con cierta presión encima de la fila de dientes mas largo. El peine que muestro en el video tiene los dientes altos destinado para hacer trabajo de tapicería 'pesado'. Es decir para que pueda jalar/arrastrar materiales gruesos. Si voy a coser materiales delgados, como billeteras, carteras, etc. entonces hay que comprar un peine de dientes bajitos, para que no lo marque. Las tiendas que venden accesorios para diferentes máquinas de coser tienen muchas placas y peines.

I can see how this roller foot can be useful. With the links on another post you gave links to where to get them too. Thank you. I could sew memory foam in the middle of 2 pieces of cloth that way compressing it as it sews, for an example. Does the 241 of yours have the same needle plates as the singer 15 and singer 31 ? It seems singer has the same plates from 1880's on up to this machine you have. On the links you have below, I looked at the prices on used machines. I got a very good deal at $200 CDN ($175 U.S.). It might not look good, but I can fix it so it does with work. Thank you again Cesar

[@anngeeder5181]

Great job, great idea as usual. What kind of throat plate is that

[@Cechaflo]

The needle plate is for the Singer machine. These plates have different gauges for the needle holes and kind of feed dogs.

[@cobblerq1]

When you set the roller to the feed dog. You mentioned the feed dog has to be hidden below the plate. When the feed goes back up,should the roller height be set to the point where you cant spin the roller easily by hand ? Or should it be firmly set to the height where the feed dog will spin it.

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Chechaflo, thank you for your videos. You have taught me a lot. I am having an issue with adjusting my singer 241 12 to do automotive upholstery. I did everything as your videos instructed and that all went well but when I attempted to change the stitch length my handheld gets jammed once the plunger is pressed down. I am unable to move it forward or backward. Please advise me as to what I could do because I have no money for any other machine and I just got my first paid project but customer wants long bold topstitching. Thank you so much Maestro

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Harold, It also happened to me and others. What you have to do is 'force' the big wheel back and forth to release it while the 'stitch length button' is pressed down. While you press down the button another person could help move the wheel with bare hands. If too tight, then it would be necessary to hold the 'wheel' with a 'pressure jaw locking pliers'. To not damage the wheel surface cover it with a rag or scrap of leather or vinyl. Please, let us know what happened.

[@jnmarin6603]

Dear Cesar, Thanks to you I have carried out the conversion of this exact machine (except for the large needle adaptations) to sew light weight leather. Can yoi say why the upper thread frays and breaks when it tries to sew three layers of skived leather? thank you.

[@Cechaflo]

Perhaps, when the needle passes the layers of leather bends a little and could be rubbing the plate hole. It would be necessary to change the needle plate with a hole lightly bigger. Besides, check out if the 'hook point' of shuttle is not rubbing the needle. Please,let me know what happened. Welcome to this channel anytime!

[@Cechaflo]

Hello, I'd forgotten to mention the 'presser foot'. If it is misaligned could cause the fraying issue due to rubbing of the needle and thread.

El botón localizado en la parte superior es el regulador de puntada. Se presiona y al mismo tiempo se mueve un poco el volante de adelante para atrás hasta sentir que el botón se hunde mas. En este momento, si movemos el volante hácia adelante la puntada que hacee el peine nos dará una puntada mas larga. Si se mueve hácia atras nos dará una puntada mas pequeña. El movimiento es gradual si lo hago llegar al tope hasta atrás, la puntada sería cero.

The ideal sewing machine to do upholstery is an industrial, flat bed, single needle, triple transport (walking foot) sewing machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Src4t4eal-pdE New ones are very expensive. I think the budget you mentioned is more than enough to get a used machine in perfect condition. I have found this link for you:www.advancedsewing.com/usedsewingmachines.html I have realized they sell good trade marks, such as Juki, Consew, Pfaff, Brother, Adler, etc. It is a matter of doing your own research by getting in touch with a professional vendor from this store. Another handy option would be to get in touch with John from Lucky Needle. He could provide you good assistance in order to get a sewing machine at an accessible price. I have realized he is a sales representative of some good trade marks. Click and check out 'sewing machines section'. Do not forget to get a 'triple transport machine' (walking foot) Or a 'double transport'(walking foot) at least. I hope this information helps.

El problema radica en el ajuste de tension, arriba cose bien pero abajo aparece un punto del hilo superior, baje la tension de arriba, intente con la tension del porta carrete y nada. Algunos de tus videos podria ayudarme???. Talvez un video en idioma o subtitulos en latino, ayudaría mucho a los latino americanos.

[@Cechaflo]

Solo tengo un video relacionado. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vZmWqvpLOBatU Si ambas tensiones estan bien, entonces el problema esta abajo en el cangrejo. Todos los cangrejos tienen un ganchito puntiagudo que agarra al hilo superior arriba del ojo de la aguja y le da una vuelta para hacer una puntada. Puede ser que el ganchito esta agarrando el hilo muy atrasado. Tendría que adelantarlo un poquito para que agarre el hilo mas rápido y asi las tensiones se normalizan y no se necesita ajustarlas demasiado.

Hi, I have been following your tutorials for some time and I learn something new on every single one of them, thank you for taking the time to teach us how to use the machines, God bless you! I do have a question regarding the "adjusting the length of the stitch" on my Singer 245-3 which is similar at the one you are using in this video, and you adjusted the "stitch length" without any issues. I have the manual and just as you did I pressed the plunger as I rotate the balance wheel, I can feel when the plunger drops but my issue is that then I am not able to turn the balance wheel on any direction, is stuck there and the stitch is very long and I cannot adjust it. As old as this machine is (1940?) it is new to me and I want to be able to use it, I think that once I figure out the stitch length issue, I should be in pretty good shape to start sewing in it with the correct stitch length. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, once again thanks for all your videos, they are great!

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Jose, You are not the only one who has faced his kind of issue. The 'big wheel' is stuck and it seems it wil not move anymore...it will be necessary the help of a partner...while your partner is pressing the 'button' you would have to force the 'big wheel' to the front or to the back...if the stitches are too short, it means you have to force the wheel forwards...on the contrary, it the stitches are large the wheel should be moved backwards. Grasp the wheel with both hands and do it.

[@Jose-yq1lk]

Thank you so much for your reply, I tried that and did NOT work, the wheel still won't move, I beginning to think that either the grease inside that part of the machine is so hard and the mechanism is really stuck or is someone has messed up with that part? I opened that top part and saw the plunger mechanism that drops into a groove inside the machine, the top part has a little screw and I am wondering if the screw was changed of position? which way is the little screw inside the plunger supposed to be facing? This screw is the one on the tip of the plunger in the middle, right between the end of the two oiler tips. Thanks in advance you for you attention to this matter. Jose.

Hola. Tengo la 251-12 y por desgracia, no tiene atraque o reversa, ya que no puedo comprar una de doble arrastre, con una ruedita la puedo suplir? Es mas efectiva que con un pié de teflón ? Gracias👋🏻

[@Cechaflo]

No es indispensable la reversa. Levante el pié de presión un poco y retroceda dos puntadas y luego baja el pié de presión y cose hacia adelante el remate de dos puntadas. En tapicería no se necesita mucho recorrido de remate. El pié de rueda se usa en zapatería y también la tapicería. Solamente hay que acostumbrarse a coser con ese pié de rodaja.

[@Cechaflo]

Hay diferentes tipos de prensatelas que se pueden adaptar al tipo de trabajo que uno piensa realizar. Hay que tomar en cuenta que con estos prensatelas la posición de la barra de la aguja es mas bajo y para ponerle el de rodaja habría que subir un poco mas la barra de la aguja y estos piés quedarían mas bajos y habría que adaptarlos cortando y soldando para obtener la misma altura de la pata redonda. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYKrhItup718jtE

[@MrStevezed]

hi cechaflo, your videos are the best, i aspire to be a competent self taught upholsterer if possible. i am wondering what would be a good sowing machine to buy for beginner, tools to get started to have some fun at home :) thanks alot for your great support !

[@Cechaflo]

TRy to buy an industrial sewing machine from the beginning. There are different well known trade marks in the after market...it could be new or used. pfaff1245, 145; juki lu-563, consew296-rb1, durkopp&adler 767, 291;singer, etc. Do you need a wood table to unroll and do the traces and cuts of your material ( 1.40x2 mts approx)...it can be the measure of a 1 inch thick plywood. A pair of scissors, pliers, a square, a one meter ruler, another longer 2 meters; and some other basic tools.

[@Cechaflo]

Hi my problem is that my roller does not reach the center of the shaft. is there a solution?

[@davidkrebs6195]

I'm thinking of buying a 241-12. where did you find the heavy feed dog and roller wheel to make it better for auto seat cover work? what other suggestions do you have for that machine? thanks

[@Cechaflo]

If it's affordabe for you I'd recommend to buy at once a triple transportation(walking foot) sewing machine (pfaff, adler, juky, consew). In my opinion is the best option to do upholstery (car and furniture). The machine with 'roller foot' are mostly used on shoemaking. But, of course, it can be used to do upholstery but, with some limitations. I used to work with this kind of machines many years ago. www.ebay.com/itm/Roller-Foot-Plate-Feeder-Set-for-Industrial-Single-Neddle-to-sew-leather-/272328744094

[@davidkrebs6195]

Since I'm a JW I do volunteer work and just want to do some side work on seat covers. If i can get the 241-12 for $250 complete, I can buy a walking foot head and use the base with motor from the 241-12. Save me some money and have an extra head. Whole machines are expensive used. Thanks for the help and all the videos.

[@davidkrebs6195]

I was able to get the 241-12 for $250. it is very clean in the oil drop pan and has a nice heavy duty table/motor included. and I do mean heavy. plan to make the improvements to it you suggested. and keep my eye out for a walking foot head to put on it later. what is the best oil to use in the sump? I had to discard the oil to disassemble the machine to get it home. And i must say your upholstery work is superior! thanks again, David

i can hear the clutch motor in the background but find it incredible how slow you can sew with this machine what is the rpm of that motor is it 1750 or the high sped 3500

[@Cechaflo]

+Ray Solis, Hi Ray, I think you're referring to the 'zigzag scissors' mostly used by taylors when they work on fabrics to avoid the fraying on its edges. I use it on the tutorials 'to simulate' the whole material (vinyl/leather/fabric) was cut and continue to the sides. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinking_shears

[@ohmalinois9194]

Your Videos are very helpful! I do knot know if you mention this elsewhere but in general, what brand/needles do you use for leather? It is very difficult to look on the internet and figure what will work for the 641-12. Also do you think the roller foot would help with sewing fur? Specifically sheep fleece sewing onto very heavy backing. Duck or felt. Thank you for your help. Looking forward to modify my machine!

Hi there, What number of thread are you using for upholstery? What thread size can you recommend for outdoor backpaks? Thank you

[@BonifaceGatimu]

Many thanks for this informative video. Can this modification be done to any standard sewing machine? Regards

[@Cechaflo]

+Boniface Gatimu I think so, as mentioned if the machine is 'all metal' (those old singer are excelent)...I remember I did car upholstery with my mom's sewing machine with no motor, just a pedal moved by my feet back and forth...most of these machines come with the 'round foot' and are used by shoemakers...it's matter of doing the little adjustments to do a heavier job.

[@Cechaflo]
