  1. Hi all,

    A questian for those who are smarter than my self, I have 29k71 shoe patccher I am attempting to sew some cordura and canvas however when I attempt to sew at right angles across a previous seem it just stops feeding and

    caused the thread to bunch up, Ihave tried increasing and decreasing the foot pressure and just about everthing else taht is adjustable all to no avail.

    Is this just a limitation off the machine or am I doing something wrong, other than this the machine works fine


  2. Hi all

    I am about to upgrade to using a granit slab for tooling etc can someone tell me if the surface is normaly polished or just gound flat or

    does it make no difference, reason being is I won't be buying it from a tool supplier. I have a friend who is a memorial mason and it will not cost me anything


  3. Yes the 132k6 is a walking foot machine, the thickest I have sewn on is about 9mm/3/8", I am told it will handle 5/8" easily although I have not tried anything that thick. They used to sew masonite door tims for cars with them. I also have a 45k cylinder bed I have sewn 1/2 with no effort on that machine, the 45k is not a walking foot.


  4. Hi all,

    Just a question to satisfy my curiosity, I very seldom here anything mentioned on this forum from the American users concerning the Singer 132k6, are they not popular , considered too old, hard to get ?

    Here in Australia they seem to be legendary, those who have them do not want to part with them. Many motor trimmers still use them on a daily basis, so what are your thoughts.


  5. Thanks for that, yes they are all gold in colour and at least one has midas stamped on it. There are some earlier made craft tools that are with them plus a swivel knife with a gem tiped blade possibly a industrial ruby, plus what appesrs to be a swiveling type groover it is all ceased up I am working on cleaning it up. I will take some pics and post them in a fiew days just for interest
