Members Lego Mum Posted June 11 Author Members Report Posted June 11 Thanks RockyAussie for your ENCOURAGEMENT....yet again! It is MOST helpful!! I will try to keep you all posted...as I LEARN my machine....and try not to purchase too many others (dikman!)....although if I won a million dollars....I KNOW where that cash might go! 😄 Quote
AlZilla Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 That looks like a nice machine. And it has REVERSE! I have the similar Singer 111W153 and 111W151 but neither has reverse. Looking back through this thread I don't see that anyone mentioned a speed reducer to go with that servo. You should read up on them in case you still find it a bit fast. Maybe with hand bags there won't be any need to dead slow sewing. Have fun!

Members Lego Mum Posted June 11 Author Members Report Posted June 11 WONDERFUL help....truly! 😊 I am soooo grateful for any/all input, help and information. I am completely NEW to this leather world....! (This is an incredible "on-line" community with such a vastness of experiences and information....and people willing to share what they've learned!) Thank you....! Quote
Members Lego Mum Posted June 11 Author Members Report Posted June 11 Thanks AIZilla...for the suggestion of a speed reducer! I have heard about them...and will consider getting one....I have just (minutes ago!) received my servo motor.....so I'll give that a try; and perhaps I will need to slow down even more...! (That clutch motor is incredibly fast...!) Thanks for your information!😊 Quote
Members dikman Posted June 11 Members Report Posted June 11 Al, I deliberately didn't mention a speed reducer as it can all be a bit overwhelming to a newcomer, but since you did ..........Lego Mum, try the servo first but if you still find it a wee bit fast at times then a speed reducer is the next step, just a tad more complicated than merely adding a servo. There have been many posts on here about speed reducers but if you think you need one feel free to ask about options.

AlZilla Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 @dikman, I hear you. On my 151 and 153, they'll punch through whatever fits under the presser foot with a half horse servo and a speed reducer. Without the reducer it starts to get dicey at about 10 ounces of veg tan. She's got the servo,so we'll know pretty quick.
