Members soapit Posted November 16, 2012 Members Report Posted November 16, 2012 Can a singer 269w111 be converted to be a regular cyd arm sewing machine Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted November 16, 2012 Moderator Report Posted November 16, 2012 No, it is and always will be a bartacker machine. Quote
Members gottaknow Posted November 16, 2012 Members Report Posted November 16, 2012 The 269 is about the best bartack machine ever built. We still use them for tacking heavy nylon webbing for tactical gear. They can be a bear to work on. I have a love hate relationship with them. Regards, Eric Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted November 16, 2012 Moderator Report Posted November 16, 2012 I used to have one that was used to sew Velcro onto reflective vests and evidence bags. I loved the resounding CLANK it made at the end of each tacking cycle! Quote

I loved the resounding CLANK it made at the end of each tacking cycle! The drive cam in that machine is a solid chunk of steel. They really do have a distinctive sound. I also use the Juki 980 tackers which are easier to work on, but aren't near as cool as the 269's. Regards, Eric Quote
