I bought a machine like this. I bought it mainly to sew boat items. First thing I did was put new windows in our dodger for a sailboat! Of course I procrastinated for 8 months because I never did such a thing. Now he wants a whole new dodger! I’m confused on the oiling. I got the manual off the internet buts it’s not very clear. I’m glad I found your video because I was having a hard time identifying my machine. Thank you.

You are welcome! Basically all of these old machines live on oil, some have holes where you add a few drops every time you use them, others have wicks that soak in an oil pan underneath the machine. Don't use automotive oil! Splurge and buy a thin viscosity clear oil at your local sewing store and just add a few drops in all those holes! Some machines paint a little red or yellow circle around the holes. Good luck and Happy sailing!

@@HowToHeaven Do you have any more videos on thread tension, etc? It's really hard to find anything on this machine. The "manual" doesn't give good pictures. There is a round black turn know on top the machine and another on top, far left. Have no idea what those are for. I can't even figure out how to set the stitch length. Anyway you answered how to thread this beast.

The oil holes are all over the machine, but should be identified in the manual. A couple of drops every time you sew in each hole. These machines used to have a drip pan below the machine, to catch the droppings. They are still available on ebay for about $40, if yours is missing. Mine is missing, but my machine is in the garage so I'm not worried about the drippings. Eventually, I will do a video on how to make a drip pan. Check out my newest video on making Sun Visors (using my Consew 226) for a 2001 Ford Ranger...it should be done today! Thanks for watching my videos!

@@HowToHeaven I have the 111W155 which is similar, and I would also love to see a video on oiling because I’m having a problem lifting the presser foot with back lever. It takes all me strength to lift! I must be missing an oil spot or maybe something else is amiss. Thanks for the great video!

Very nice explanation and demonstration. I sew as well and I have two Consew and they are very durable. So thank you and Blessings

Thank you for watching, a much better camera!

I also have the exact same Consew. I would really be grateful for a video on installing a thread position sensor. Thanks much

You made your own table? How did you get a pedal put on? I’m looking into getting a table for my consew but I’d love to make one!

You can buy a pedal kit without buying the entire table. I used a butcher block counter I purchased from Floor and Decor. I also used a base from an office table.

I have an old consew quilter, 25" throat, has been upgraded to a servo motor. Runs beautifully but keeps breaking thread... I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Anyone know of this machine and how to thread it? Nothing online about it that I can find

Sorry, I can't give you a definitive answer, too many variables. It could be anything from tensions, thread size/needle size, timing, material too thick, even a bent needle or bad bobbin case could cause that. Good sewing machine techs are still around and it would pay to have it serviced if you've never done it. It just depends on how much you will use it. Thanks for watching my videos!

Should show with way the bobbin goes in ect .

I need assistance and don’t know where els to get it I have a con sew machine given to me but don’t know squat on how. Been watching your video when I get it to the tension it the thread won’t move can u help

I suggest you research basic sewing machine operations as they ALL operate similarly. You should concentrate on the tension adjusting screws for the UPPER and LOWER (BOBBIN) threads. Watch lots of KZread videos on thread tensions. Be persistent. Also, make sure that you thread your machine correctly or the tensioners won't work! Good Luck!
