Did it pull up the bobbin thread ok?

A 5-spool uses 3-spools on the over edge with the right needle & 2 spools with the left needle ,the looper goes on the right overcast looper,the one that goes over the top & will turn your machine intp a 4-spool w/a a true safety stitch.

Some brands have a looper you can buy that eliminates the one thread to convert it to a 4-spool. There's one on ebay,I tried to cut & paste it but it won't work,it's called a spreader $15.00

Or the hole the needle fits into is wore out & when you tighten it up you should be able to see it move to the left.Or you can also check it with the needle set screw loose see how much the needle moves left to right in the hole.

We have that part in stock or I can give you the measurement when I get back into the shop tomorrow.

Yes,someone must of changed the brass plate over the years,sometimes if you take it off & look at the other side you'll find the correct model#.It is something like a 111w101,103.

The feet & needlebar will be no problem to get,it's the feed dog & needle plate,I've never seen any like that on a Singer before,that's probably what the SV(special version) is about.So you'll have to call Tennessee Attachment & send your old plate & feed dog to them & they'll make what ever guage you want. I really doubt you ever find any like that.

We have these metal hinges to fit on the head that will work with the euro style rubber mounts.

We have these flat hinge plates in stock.

Hey Mike, It can be hit or miss on new patchers it took us a few manufactures to find one that was built right.I've never heard of Axis before but then there is always new names coming into the market.It is best to stay away from older machines because you won't be able to find parts if needed. hEY

I've never seen one like that! Looks like it'll work.

Juki kept the same holes in the front & it doesn't have a roller,just a finger that comes down.

The Juki 563 @ $1.100.00 is 1/2 price of the new 1508 & in good condition it's worth it.You might even be able to get them down alittle on the price.

I hate to disagree with anyone but the Juki DU-1118N is more of a canvas machine,it has feed dogs the help pull the material,the upper feet also have teeth & does not have a needlefeed that the Juki 1541S has which is a way better machine for leather,the feed dog has teeth on them BUT since it is a needlefeed they can be ground off & it won't affect it at all.

Glad to know you got it fixed.

What size needle & thread are you using?

Ok,you could loosen the screws on collar#26 & push the pin over by pushing on #18,sometimes there's play there.Once in a while screw#25 is loose letting to bushing move.

Loosen 2-screws #19 & move part#20 to the right.

The 168 will sew up to a total of 20oz & would be the better choice.

It's on page #23 in your manual.You go to the backside approx. in the middle you'll see a wing nut,loosen it & slide it up for more foot lifting height.

Yes,your right there isn't enough metal there to be able to drill the holes you need to mount it.

Yes,it will slow it down,you will probably need to extend the belt slot so the belt doesn't rub.

Hannah,Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad I thought of doing that,the problem is since we changed to this style of motor we are not having enough problems to know what to do when something happens.

Yes,I think that setup would work great.
