As mentioned before ex factory it is using a needle system with fairly thin shafts and you can probably get it to sew with 138 thread if the needle plate has a large enough hole but you most likely you have to convert the needle bar for using a common needle system like 135x16 and you need a new tension unit.  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?

Let's try this again 

Nevermind. If it's ok I'll start another post when I have the machine up and running and add more pictures then.

basically a new needle bar. 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:

But you have to shorten it.

LW member @eddo has done this with his machine too:
