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! 😄

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!

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!😊

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.

@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.
