Pounder Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Can anyone provide information for a Singer 45K50? I have an opprotunity to purchased this for $220, is that a decent price? It has been in a barn but it does run and is motorized but will it sew leather. I admit its looks like it could sew plywood but I have always hand stitched and am looking to upgrade but know nothing about sewing machines. Please help. Thanks Quote Crooked Finger Leather 5514 E.

CowboyBob Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 If it has feed dofs(teeth under the needle plate) then it shiould sew an easy 3/8+ of leather/some parts for some of these are hard to get.They made over 80 models of the 45k & some were for darning & don't have feed dogs & some take different needle plates that have been discontinued yrs ago.I suppose they could be made.
