    If you leave the feed dog in when trying to use these needle plates it will hit the bottom of the plate & either break some major part or just bind up the machine.
  2. CowboyBob
    Ok,now I see what's wrong,you need to move the bar that the feed dog fastens to back,loosen the screw that the screwdriver is pointing to in this pic & push the bar back so it doesn't hit .

    When installing a new feed dog & plate,leave the 2 feed dog screws loose & put the plate on then you can tighten the screws & it should line up.

    Here's some info from a Singer manual,use screw marked "AC" for tension adjustment.

    Hello, I'd say the best way to find out what it's worth is to put it on ebay,but then she'd have to be able to ship it,so I would guess something around $1,200.00 should be a fair price.
  6. CowboyBob
    I'd buy them all day long for that price!! Yes,we have parts for it.

    It should sew up to 20 oz(5/16") of leather & use #138 thread easily.Parts,needles & feet are real easy to get.
  8. CowboyBob
    Try it & let me know what happens. That was biggest problem they wanted $3.00 each!!

    I agree w/CD it looks like a 31-15 BUT the model# is on the oval brass tag on the front,if there was alittle more light on it in the pics I could read it.
  10. CowboyBob
    He's right you have to lower the needlebar down to make the 7x3 needles work & then it will sew only 1/2" do to the end of the needlebar hitting to foot.Which is ok if you don't need to sew very thick but I doubt if it'll work very good that way for most people.
  11. CowboyBob
    That is the correct needle,so I would say that the hole is elongated & you need to replace the needle holder,we have them in stock.

    There is usually a sharp edge accross the back on this plate that you can grind off to give it a taper , it's the back edge right @ the end of the red line in your pic.

    Steve is right they are pretty easy to work on & if you need any help let me know as I've worked on alot of them & can help you.
  14. CowboyBob
    The picture is alittle fuzzy to say for sure but it looks like a Singer 71-30 buttonhole machine.
  15. CowboyBob
    There has never been many repair manuals around for many sewing machines,Singer always had operator manuals BUT they wanted you to call their repairman out & make some $$ to fix it so they never printed service manuals.
  16. CowboyBob
    You probably have it threaded wrong look @ the file
  17. CowboyBob
    The 44 has a 71/2" space to the right of the needle & the 31 has 101/2"
  18. CowboyBob
    The 44 is a shorter version of a 31-15

    Hello Randy,I'm at the show in Wichita Falls,TX. & wanted to let you know we have a new model that we just got in yesterday that sews to 5/8" @ a great price if you want to give me a call next wed when I get back I can let you know more about it.
  20. CowboyBob
    It would be nice if it could be done but it can't the machine doesn't have the boss's cast into it to mount the shafts needed to make it work.
  21. CowboyBob
    It would help if you can show us a pic?
  22. CowboyBob
    Yes,a roller foot has it's place as long as the material is stiff enough that it doesn't lift up w/the needle & your going straight.There a foot w/a teflon bottom available that will help in sticky material.
  23. CowboyBob
    Andrew with the roller foot on the leftside when you turn to the right the stitches will get shorter & when you turn left they get shorter.The reason is the foot isn't in the center,On a needle feed there's a narrow foot that would work better.
  24. CowboyBob
    Proleptic (Shop Talk) has them http://www.proleptic.net/products/search
  25. CowboyBob
    It's a Sutton & it wasn't made for very many years,it was also sold as a bench mount.I don't know if there's parts available for it or not.You can try calling Gateway Shoe in St.Louis,MO.
