Consew 199RB-⁠3A-⁠2

The 199RB series is a versatile single-needle, drop-feed, zig-zag lockstitch machine designed for a wide range of sewing applications. It features a horizontal axis transverse rotary hook, reverse feed, and combination zig-zag and straight stitch capabilities. The machine is ideal for edge sewing, patch sewing, applique work, and more on materials such as leather, canvas, vinyl, and cloth.

The long arm offers 10" of free space between the needle and arm, providing ample workspace for larger projects. Additionally, it includes a locking zig-zag width regulator, a large bobbin, and reverse stitching functionality for enhanced performance and durability.

Each machine is manufactured with a dedicated one-cam system—either 1A, 2A, or 3A stitch type. The cam system is factory-installed, is not interchangeable, and cannot be changed after manufacture. This allows customers to select the stitch configuration best suited to their specific application at the time of purchase.
