I do a lot of horse blankets and have the opportunity to purchase the above machine. It's a 30" and the man selling it says it reverses by using the foot pedal. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It's a double needle machine,you can takeout one needle & run it on one,but you'll still have a wide foot that can be a problem.Yu should be able to tackle any blankets that come along with it,mosy people I know use a standard 10" machine.

Are you making new or repairing? For repairing rugs I do not usually suggest a high dollar machine as the dust and crap out of a rug can be hard on the hook and shuttle mechanism in particular. Stick to something basic and inexpensive with easy to get (read chap) parts.

Hi Anne,

I only repair rugs (horse blankets) that have been cleaned. I need the longer head space so I can maneuver the blanket and keep sewing. I'm planning on converting the head to a single needle.

I'm not completely familiar with this machine but most double needle machines have smaller bobbins.

Simply a result of having two of them rather than one. However, if it is a good enough buy it may be worth it.

That being said, if it is that reasonably priced you could use it until you sell it and use the proceeds to buy what

you really would like to have. :rolleyes:

Wrong!

As quoted in the details on this web page:

"Extra large bobbins have four times the thread capacity of the Singer 111W, 112W, Class Machines."

It's interesting that they'd put two of those big bobbins in this flatbed.

There must be a whole fistful of hardware under the table of one of those things.

I'd love to see one.
