Change Presser Foot Lift On Rex 607z Sewing Machine
มุมมอง 3.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Simple trick to get more room under the presser foot. Edit: I'm not sure I stressed this enough in the video, but the magnets MUST be rare earth magnets. Regular magnets will not work. You can get them here: www.amazon.com/DIYMAG-Neodymium-Magnets-Double-Sided-Adhesive/dp/B07B6PS8XV/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=neodymium magnet - 60 x 10 x 3mm&qid=1622116130&s=industrial&sr=1-11
Can you please tell me where you purchased that wooden base? I purchased a metal one that doesn’t quite fit well. The hinge screw on right side doesn’t go all the way in. I appreciate you so much!
I made it. I'll make a quick video showing the exact dimensions
No need to make video for me… as I would never be able to make one myself. But I’m sure many would appreciate! Please let me know if you’re interested in making one to sell to me 🙏🏼
Omg you’re a life saver! Thank you thank you!
Very Helpful. I ended up drilling out the Heavy Piece and inserting an adjustable bolt. It got messy before it got better (clearances and tolerances). But the concept was huge and it will make my life a wonderful thing. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for the video..can you make a video about the wood box ? I mean the sewing machine case…😅😅😅
How about exploring exciting details together? You're invited!

This didn’t work for me. The Rex settings are nothing like the Sailrite and now it’s gonna take forever to get it back the way it was. If I get the lift where I want it nothing else is right. If you have tried this on an actual Rex 607z please let me know
Bonjour merci pour votre vidéo je pique du cuir épais à combien je doit mettre ma tension à combien car mes points saute je pense que ça viens de la tension ?
Bonjour, les points sautés sont généralement causés par la façon dont l’aiguille est orientée. La rainure de l’aiguille doit être exactement à 90 à droite. S’il est tourné un peu vers l’avant ou vers l’arrière, les mailles sauteront.
I might superglue a nut on there sure I can find something, thanks
Nice
Thank you. As you are probably aware, the instructions that come with the machine are suboptimal.
Thanks for the video. Do you know if there is any hack to increase the size of the stitches?
The walking foot and presser foot bar heights are both easily adjustable on these machines with no spacers or anything like that.
If you have a link that would be great. I've watched every Sailrite video and could not find anything that addresses this problem.
@Stitch Biatch I've tried to add a link here but it keeps disappearing for some reason. The video is called "Complete Guide to Setting the Feet Height & Range." It is not listed/searchable on TH-cam but you can find it through a Google search. The adjustment only takes a few minutes and it made a huge difference on my Consew version of this machine.

@@pyrosketcher1490I can’t find this video anywhere. :( I did a google search and it’s not there
Looking to get this machine to learn/ practice automotive upholstery. Are all the saltire presser foots compatible with it.
Please tell me what thread you use I make stuff with 8 oz veg tan I have a TuffSew.
I use V92, as I mostly sew outdoor stuff.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a tuffsew and it looks exactly the same. I will let TuffSew know they need to have better videos available!
Thanks for sharing I have this 607 and I can't get it to though a binding canvas do you have any tips
Make sure the clutch (the small wheel in the center of the handwheel) is super tight. Then sink the needle by turning the handwheel manually. Then try to help it along for the first few stitches. It should take off on its own after that. I'll try to post a video of sewing binding soon.
Just use proper setup and adjust walking foot and Presser foot, Don't risk damaging your machine by bending lift mechanism! Sailrite has great video on setting up machine correctly. Foot height, thread and bobbin tension, proper oiling and maintenance. proper needle tread combinations. Machines are the same, Good luck
Thanks loads for this video, I’ve been using my RX 607 for 3 years an didn’t realize it had a clutch for the bobin😅😅 i am such a muppet..
It's really a great machine for the money. Thanks for watching!
Your foot lift tutorial was really helpful for some thick work I had to do on my 607z. Just curious ...is that still working out for you. Have you kept it installed? I just ordered a Monster Balance Wheel from Goldstar Tool. They have a sale on right now so it seems like a really good deal. There's even a coupon code for another 5% bringing it down to $95.00 US. Its arriving in a few days and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Yes, I've had it modified for over a year and it's still working great.
@@stitchbiatch3715 glad to hear it. Do you always use the foot that came with the machine? I struggle with welting when using upholstery vinyl. Can't get a consistent, tight stitch. I see Salirite sells left and right welting feet but I'm in Canada and to get both would be over $120 Cdn landed. Searched AliExpress etc., and couldn'i find any elsewhere. Hoping to learn a 'technique' that would work better.
@@jjaylad you can try the zipper feet, you should get pretty good results with that. Found these on Amazon. They also have a left side set. www.amazon.com/Zipper-Consew-CP206R-Sailrite-Machine/dp/B07DB1PCSF/ref=sr_1_5?crid=79867EE5OA0Z&keywords=rex+607z+sewing&qid=1689427623&sprefix=rex+607z+sewing%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-5
I just tried this on my Reliable Barracuda 200zw and it worked, I now have over 1/2 inch of lift! Thanks for sharing!
hello very beautiful sewing machine please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how it's used to sew please OK?please kindly reply back OK?thank you very much
You use the foot pedal just like the gas pedal on a car. When starting a row of stitches, lightly turn the handwheel toward yourself, while very lightly depressing the foot pedal. After the stitching starts, depress the foot pedal to get whatever speed you want. Reduce foot pressure to slow down or stop. Use your right hand on the handwheel like a brake for more control at slow speeds. I usually do one backstitch and one more forward stitch at the end of the stitching.
hello very beautiful sewing machine request very nicely please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how it's used to sew please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much
Very useful tip. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks a lot. I changed that on my machine. Use a screw though and made it adjustable. Happy that I found your video :-)
I'd rather use a screw but am having trouble getting one in. Tight spot.
Damn good video, thank you. I have the same problem with my Barracuda 200zw
I haven't tried this yet, but will after I get off the computer. I stumbled on this video, and been dealing with this issue, but never found a solution. Thanks for posting. BTW, I don't know if they are the right size, but Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrushes have great rare earth magnets in them, so don't discard them when they get old without removing those magnets first. UPATE: I tried the magnet trick, using a rare earth magnet, but after examining it I thought of a better way, by just bending the arm. To remove the arm I removed the one screw that holds it on. I then used a vise to hold it and slightly bent the arm. I did that a few times until I got the height I was looking for (about 1/2"). So far works great.
Update. I found the problem I had was that the magnet would stick to the part above that shelf and stay there for a second, then turn sideways, creating way too much of a space. That is what caused the foot lift lever to be popping up and down as well as the erratic stitch lengths. I cut a slice of 5/8" threaded rod to create the same thickness as the magnet, and crazy glued it onto that shelf instead of using the magnet. So far so good. I'll report again after I've tried a real project with the machine.
Are you sure you're using rare earth magnets? I didn't have this problem at all; I have tried super glue and metal but it came undone after about the third usage of the machine.
@@stitchbiatch3715 my magnets aren't rar earth...just refrigerator magnets but good ones that are hard to move. The crazy glue worked ok for 5 minutes then let go. Trying magnets again but the upper plate they push against is also metal and the magnets stick to it just as much as they do to the one they are on. Can't see how rare earth can adhere to one and not the other. I wonder if the square edge on yours is giving it purchase on the vertical part of that ledge too. Coud that give it more attraction to the lower ledge than the upper?
@@jjaylad it will never work. Just get rare earth magnets. They will not move.

Hi again. I tried this and can't seem to get it to work on my machine (which is exactly the same as yours). What happens is that the pressure foot is hesitant to go down. I have to make a stitch b4 it releases and goes down. Then, when stitching, the lift lever is jumping up and down and the stitch length varies and soon pinches down to extremely short. It seems the foot goes backwards b4 going forward. I remove the magnets and it works OK again. I tried it with just one magnet as well and same thing happens, just not as bad. Could I be doing something wrong?
Had this machine for years and struggled with that horrible lift. Anxious to try this tomorrow. Thanks for this!
I have the same unit and like to know more. Videos. Thank you.
I will post more videos about this machine as soon as my busy season at work is over.
