So expect to invest approx $50 or more in it for parts + some tinkering. Maybe new needle plate and feed dog and I´m not sure if the roller foot is ideal for your work. But you can convert that as well.... But it all takes parts, time and tinkering. What do I need to convert the needle bar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your machine is the 2nd type 51w and needs a 6.35mm needle bar as it was used in the Singer 111w triple feed machines. Like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152426180931 But you have to shorten it.
