4Speedfury Report post Posted February 24, 2013 Hi all, New member and first post. I have been sewing for a relatively short time and have made a few upgrades to my machine stable. The latest one is an industrial Husqvarna Nordic 27-10. I have learned its limitations though. No walking foot. Now that I am getting more serious with my sewing, I need to get a better machine. I have seen several 2 needle compound feed walking foot machines (Singer 112W140, 145) at a fraction of the cost of a single needle machine. Is it possible to convert from 2 to 1 needle? Thanks!

Gregg From Keystone Sewing Report post Posted February 25, 2013 By model number, Singer 112W140 is a needle feed, drop feed machine, not a walking foot. And, if you do use it as a single needle, keep in mind the limitations of not being able to use cording or welting feet with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
