ditchduck Report post Posted March 31, 2011 I'm new to this site and I was wondering? I have a Singer 29K51 made in 1928 and I was wondering how thick of leather it can sew and what price range would be able to sell it for? The machine is in great condition and still works.

catskin Report post Posted March 31, 2011 Mine has less rust than yours and I bought it a few years ago for $35.00. So you may not be able to retire on what you get.

CowboyBob Report post Posted March 31, 2011 Catskin is right when he says 1/4" thats all Singer designed them for. These 29K51's weren't made for thick material & be careful if you try sewing thick because this model of 29 has small gears in it that'l break real easy & there's no replacements for them(hasn't been for over 30yrs) HTH, Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hooligan Report post Posted April 1, 2011 does that size limit go for the 29-4 also? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
