Hello last resort of the free internet.

I had to sew some stoff for my basement and realized it is a real (marksmen?-)ship. It is more complicated then cutting wood for some furniture.

Anyhow, I want to enlarge my machine's sewing step. That is, I want it to be able to sew more than five milimeters with one step. Maybe I should add a motor with more then 90 W (current Motor), but can this archived with gearing?

I do not care for sewing steps beyond <2 mm. Though my clutch allows any step-width fluidly. I am capable of deconstruct the machine and weld anything to it what is required. And make it in weight.

But my issue is figuring out what change would enlarge the step-width.

Even if your suggestion would change my settings, let me know your idea please.

Some pictures of the Internals:

(when issuing my hand down, the gearing enlarges into the direction of the arrow. But there is a ?Bobbing? on the left side. Imo this should be dependend on a rotation so I can enlarge the leverage nonetheless)

I would appreciate any tip!

I try to be in the middle of my own opinion and beeing inclusive. Sorry for stepping ppl on the toes!

On both pictures I have hands on the clutch. Enlarging the motor doesn't make sense after reading my own post.

The leverage enable me to fluidly adjust the step-length.

If you explain it correctly, I can do any adjustment but please raise any requirements which raise to you head.

Initial the pictures could not be loaded so I did a comment. I deleted and reused it for this comment.
