Singer 29K72 Stitch Length Problem

[Wizcrafts]

I usually buy Organ brand titanium coated, in walking foot System 135x16 and 17, on eBay. But, if you have an industrial sewing machine dealer nearby, call them and ask if they have or can get titanium coated needles in 135x16, or 29x4. Those are leather point systems. Round points would be systems 29x3 and 135x17. They really do make a big difference!

Thanks a lot!

Wizard,

Just fyi I contacted the European Distributor, here is the answer:

"thanks a lot for your inquiry.
But DIX4LR 120/19 Titanium coated  LP coating is not in ORGAN production line.
 
Kind regards
Rudolf Rütters"

 

So, do you have more suggestion to avoid missing stitches caused by glued leather layers ?

(Using tape or different glue, or an alternative method ?)

thanks again for you help.

Here are the System 135x16 needles I have been buying from an eBay seller. They are Organ brand and most certainly titanium coated and leather point. They fit the 29k patchers perfectly.

If the motion feed crank has a worn down feed puck, you can braze bronze onto it, then shape it with a file, then buff it to a polished finish. If you take your time and get the clearance and ends shaped just loose enough to allow the crank to turn 360 degrees, you will get the maximum stitch length possible (~5/inch). I did this to two Singer patchers and both gave 5 stitches per inch after the bronze build up job.

Hello Wiz

Hello Wiz (dont know your first name) 

My first name is Marc . I like your participation to the forum. You got a lot of experience their. Really appreciate it. 

About the Singer patcher stitch length problem, i have the same issue on my 29K171. You wrote bronze build up. 

Is it possible please to see a picture of which part you've done it? 

Thanks
