I've rebuilt a "parts machine" 111W155. Initially it sewed well but I tried to adjust the alternating presser foot height by the manual and things went in the crapper. The vibrating foot lifts 3/8ths -1.2 inch. the alternating presser foot (outside) barely clears the material being sewn. This mak...

I'm new to industrial walking foot machines and leather work. I saw two machines for sale but unsure of which to get. A Singer 111w155 which I see a lot of info online about and a Singer 153wsv13 which has virtually no info online about but I see similar machines for sale. I know the open arm is gen...

Hi Guys and Dolls. My first post after lurking for 3 months. I love this forum, one of the best I have ever been on. So I have been making a small product from garment leather and was sewing it (or struggling to) with a Singer household machine. I located and purchased a Singer 111W155 with table a...

Good Evening, I recently purchased a Singer 111W155 for $225 . The seller had inherited it. The seller plugged it in and pressed the foot pedal. The needle went up and down without cloth and thread. Motor and machine sounded ok. After getting it home, I sanded the top, re-stained and put...

Hi I am hoping that someone out there has experience with threading up the Singer 111 w 155 ! And that person would be willing to explain to me how to do it. Years ago I hired a mechanic to come to my home to look at my machine and he said that it was fine, I just had it threaded incorrectly. H...

I am seeking to learn about edge guides, and then purchase (or possibly make) one for my singer 111W155. It seems like there are two different styles, one that bolts onto the bed or bobbin cover and is able to pivot away when not in use. The other bolts to the back of the machine and swings down...

I'm looking at a local Singer 111w155 and my web research says those machines came with triple feed but the guy says it has a walking foot but not a walking needle. Has anyone ever seen a 11w155 without a walking needle? Thanks in advance for your help. Chris

Hello all, just wanted to say hello and see what suggestions people have on some thoughts of mine. I just got into sewing and purchased a 111w155 in good shape for $250. Has a good clutch motor on it. I will be using this machine for knife sheaths and some upholstery work. However, I got lucky...

I nearly gutted the machine and cleaned it, oh boy did it seem like it sat in mud! Then I gave it some new paint and fancy decals. The tension release guide has been the biggest pain in my butt. So the thing first of all was broken when I bought it, no big deal. Ordered a new one. New one broke whil...

Well, I finally finished my sewing table and have started going through the Navy manual for my 111W155. I've hit a few snags already, and thought it would be a good idea to ask a few questions before I chase my tail around in circles for too long. 1. In the manual, it indicates that the arrows on...

I have the original manual and a variety of military manuals. I've read previous forum posts on here and looked for videos. I've taken out / loosened all screws involved and I removed the pully. This bushing is stuck! This machine is a beauty and has about 99% of all it's original USA parts. The bus...

Tools of the process - I used the ratchet and the mallet to get it started. When it got too tight for the ratchet, I used the allen wrench set and the mallet. When it really got tight I used the thread stand top piece and the mallet! I soaked the area with PB Blaster first. That stuff stinks so do n... -
And the arm shaft bushing finally came out! I was so happy with this small victory! It has it's battle scars now. The ball bearings still move perfectly and it's still in working condition. -
A few more whacks and a little more PB Blaster spray and it kept moving. I still couldn't believe it. -
This was after the first few whacks. I couldn't believe it moved! -

I'm currently building a table top for my Singer 111W155. It did not come with an existing top, so I've been referencing images online. However, one thing I would like to get some more information on, is the distance between the server motor and the pulley on the sewing machine. To position the...

So I recently came by a Singer 111W155 that was used in a production environment. This is my venture into the world of industrial sewing machines and know very little about them. That being said, I’m pretty excited to get this machine back up and running. It did not come with a table, motor, bob...
