Looking For Singer 153-101

[DavidMillsSaddlery]

I liked the 1/2" lift, and the small diam. of the arm! If anything I didnt like was the shorter arm... I am lookinig at other machines that might sew up to 7/8" and a 16" arm... A cobra, but I'm not big on chinese...

Country of manufacturer aside, these are very different machines of course.

Yes, got a big 97-10 can use for the big stuff, but the fact needles are no longer available worries me! only size have is the 28's and d like to go up a thread size to a 415! which think will reguire a 29? have 20 needles so sould be good for a while, the arm diam. is huge on the97, which makes sewing bags hrder...

According to this, http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=51651 I have the needles for bigger thread, since all mine are #28

Thanks for the call, sorry I got sidetracked, Lois picked up, she's been selling parts and needles for over 30 years and can run circles around me anyway!

Not a poblem at all! she knows what want, (I hope lol) 25 - 27 leather points! she called them something different! it has been 12 years since have used these machines so rusty on terminology!Thank you!

Machine is ready, just have to put a stand up under it, over hang, like we spoke about. I have more, this on is especially clean.

WOW impressed! got my machine from Keystone friday, nd within an hour was sewing on it! extremally clean unit! packed perfectly (I'm in the trucking industry) the only thing "missing" was bobbin winder, but will not fault gregg because he got it shipped to me QUICKLY because "rushed" him! Gregg you also sent me an "extra" light when you sent me the 3! one was supposed to go on the machine, which you had installed! so can either pay you for the extra light or send it back! On phone so let me ry sending pictures!Beautiful stitch using a 346 top and 277 bottom, and 277 top and bottom! the 138 went right in with only changing the needle!
