Product Information

Consew 146RB-1A-2 Single Needle Walking Foot Zig-Zag Lockstitch Machine

Drop Feed, Walking Foot, Wide Zig-Zag & Reverse Stitching

The Consew 146RB-1A-2 is a single-needle, drop-feed, walking-foot zig-zag lockstitch machine designed for sewing medium- to heavy-weight materials that are difficult to feed. Built for reliable performance, the machine features a horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook, large bobbin, wide zig-zag stitching, and reverse feed.

Its upper-feed mechanism helps prevent material slippage, making the machine suitable for demanding sewing applications involving leather, wet suits, shoes, boots, and tarpaulins.

Important: The 146RB-1A-2 is manufactured with the dedicated 1A cam system. The 1A, 2A, and 3A cam systems are factory-installed, are not interchangeable, and cannot be changed after manufacture.
