    Ok. So it cannot go all the way around when adjusting the stitch length (plunger pushed). Thanks that is what I see

    Sadly no, my issue is the wheel that one spins to adjust the stitch length does not go all the way around. It may actually not be a problem as the stitch length does adjust.

    Sorry I just noticed the reply to this post Here are some pictures. Note I discovered in the oiling question I posted that there is a modification and this machine has a different hook saddle than usual. I suspect that would change the step mechanism adjustment. see other thread Here are some pics of the underside.

    Thanks so much! So one fills to see the line at the top of the dip stick? Odd system as the dip stick pushes oil out of way I suspect. I did see a thread on changing the hook saddle to a larger one, is that what I have? Not the G size (I think?) that is standard for 111g156?

    Ah, that would explain not finding the felt. Does one fill to the end of the flat hashed section? Very hard to see this light oil ... is there a trick?

    New to the Singer 111G156 machine. I have been reading a lot posts. I can engage the pinion to move the eccentric adjusting the step length. Question is should the hand wheel be able to turn all the way around while engaging pinion, adjusting between largest step and zero... mine does not, the eccentric hits the side of the housing it is in , one has to turn the hand wheel in the opposite direction to get to center. Does this matter? Numbers indicating SPI are not matching as well but I think that is a fall out of this problem.

    Just getting into this hobby I see from an older manual the recommended thread to use How does this match to from the Toledo site Is the "Cotton Thread" measurement not used any more? Do we worry about twist as well? Thanks Brian

    I just acquired a Singer 111G156 and was in the process of oiling the machine. Looking in the Bobbin well on the RHS I noticed a post that was not in the picture, nor in anything I have read so far. Poking and finally pulling revealed this Any ideas what it is? I still don't see the two oil points I need, felt below bobbin or on edge of bobbin regards Brian
