What is the value of a Ferdco 1245? used very little sews excellent.

thanks

What size screws does the 97 take if you want to put a material guide on? #2 My singer 97 sews fine until a transition between 1-2,1-3 pieces of leather. it missies 3-4 stitches then it picks it up again. I set the needle bar to spec. I'm thinking the shuttle hook is worn its not broken but it doesn't have a real sharp point. Thanks in advance!

I tried to be a little gentler then you lol

I don't believe that is the right machine. A lot of people on eBay show machines sewing leather. One draw back of that machine would be the size of thread it could handle.
-
can't you just re tap to next closest thread
-
do you have any 97-3 needles left. I bought them off you early thanks Jaime
-
Jaime,
Yes, I do. What sizes and quantites are you needing?
Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

comfort is why al recommends putting the stirrup leathers under fenders when you get the tree it will be open between the bars that's why you need the strainer they you glue leather on top to ground the seat its a little more involved then but that should give you and idea I know the saddle you want to build its a late 1800

did you get the thread breaking issue fixed? I have had a pro 2000 for 20 yrs the only time that happened to me was to small of a needle threaded wrong in the picture you see a lot of fraying usually means rubbing from being threaded wrong. let me know if I can help i'm right in Hammonton NJ

Hey. Thanks for shooting me a msg. I never got it to work. Its definitely threaded correctly. The thread is 207 and its either a 24 or 25 size needle. Ive even tried looping the thread around the lower tension disc 1.5 and 2.5 times. Adjusting the upper tension either which way does not resolve the issue either. Im almost to the point where ill run the strap through the machine without thread to prepunch holes and hand stitch it.

Purchasing 3 sewing machines and need input
houndsnmules replied to rockin b's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
If the 7-31 uses needle system 1000H they only come in round point, no leather points. In heavy harness leather you might have a problem -
Keystone has Ferdco pro 2000 now Keystone has Ferdco pro 2000 now

it was just a joke
-
there is no pommel or swell on the drawing
-
A hair more tension on the bobbin and try a smaller thread on the bottom and check needle size. If you go to a larger needle make sure the hole isn't to big for the thread.
-
I have had a Ferdco pro 2000 for close to twenty years, I would recommend the machine. The web page is still out there that tells you what parts are specific to the Ferdco's. As to the other machines I'm sure they sew well also. Find out if the parts are still unique to the Ferdco and if they help with stitch quality.

I just thought of Singer 111,144,733,136,29 I believe most of them are still being made, with minor changes My statement was just a thought not fact
-
I believe Singer has the most copied designs
-
Who is making good 10-12oz Latigo these days? Wicket and Craig seems to be a little hit and miss.
-
even though you increased the mechanical advantage at the input, I would imagine it would exceed the original design specs on the internal parts. Its like putting a 3 foot pipe on a 3/8ths ratchet

Bob, As per our phone conversation thanks for helping me out. Jaime

I'm new to the site, I bought a 97-10 at what I thought was a very fair price. So I'm sure this question has been asked before. Are there any longer needles that can be cut down, if so where do you buy them? I read years ago you could use the 794 system but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying a heavier machine. thanks again Jaime PS Is there a chart that shows all the needle dimension's?
-
Can needle system 1000H be modified to work in a singer 97-10 thank you in advance
