I'm so new to this I haven't even plugged my "new used" Singer 31-15 that's sitting next to my modified "pool table work bench", and I have already bid on a Singer 111W151 . My motivation is the vinyl seats in my boat. I guess I sort of got things backwards and upside down. Although I have heard reverse is what I have missing, I figure I'm not in a hurry to mass produce anything and if I move forward, I will end up with a more modern machine, and end up doing leather also. Sewing seems pretty cool.. I guess some of the advice I'm looking for is needle and thread size for marine vinyl. I have ordered the following needles for the 31-15. But should I hold off and use the 111W151? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
