Advice Needed....singer 78-1

[TheDuke]

I ran into a guy who has an old Singer 78-1, I was just wondering if anyone at LW has dealt with this machine? If so, would this be a decent investment for lighter leather work?

Yes.it's a good machine for chaps,wallets & etc.It has a walking foot needle feed & no lower feed dogs to mark & it was made to sew leather.

Yes, a great investment for light work. I have been sewing on this make of machine for about 12 years and am very happy with the performance. It is a more simple machine without a feed dog so you will be able to control your work easier. The 78-3 is the same machine and the 78-2 is similar with the end chopped off. I really like the 78-1, They are a great machine.
