@Northmount, thanks you for the tips.

Problem is solved. I managed to find some ever-so-slightly shorter leather needles with the same shank, and have been able to mount these in the needle holder with the eyes in the same position as the fabric needles, so the timing is not upset.  Cheers

Hi, JessH,

I have read posts about your machine and search for the correct needles. Interestingly, I am trying to do much the same as you and have a similar, but not identical ancient walking foot singer industrial machine (31K47) that also takes 16x63 16x113 needles, and I am curious as to if you resolved your problem getting the appropriate leather point needles for your machine. I also saw your note on slowing the machine down. I did this by changing the motor to a servo motor. Since then I have used the machine to make several under-bonnet blankets for classic cars.
