fireguy1717 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Just got a singer 78-3 and was wondering what the largest thread size I can sew with it and what needle size I would use? Also do you use the same size thread on the bottom or do you use a smaller size? Any tricks or helps that anyone has about these machines would be great. Thanks Ryan Edited September 15, 2011 by fireguy1717 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted September 15, 2011 This is a pretty good machine f/leather & should use up to #138,some people use a size smaller in the bobbin & that works best if your sewing something & want a large thread for the look. Usually you should use the same size top & bottom.We do stock & can order all the parts for it. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
