What type of feed system does the Consew 206RB sewing machine utilize?

The Consew 206RB sewing machine utilizes a compound feed system, which is designed for both sewing layers of fabric and handling various types of materials. This system combines two methods of feeding: the upper feed mechanism and the lower feed mechanism work together. The walking foot component of the design helps to evenly move the layers of fabric during sewing, which is especially beneficial when working with uneven or thick materials.

This feeding action minimizes any shifting of the fabrics, allowing for better control over the stitching process. The dual feed capability allows the machine to efficiently handle heavier textiles, which is particularly advantageous in industries that require durability and precise stitching, such as upholstery or leatherworking. The compound feed system, therefore, provides versatility and effectiveness for a wide range of sewing applications.
