longtooth Report post Posted May 23, 2013 I have this machine and use it for the heavy horse blankets I have to repair. My question is I was wondering if anybody knows of a leather needle system that may work. I'm told the only needles made are 7/23. I enclosed a picture of the machine. Any help, would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gump Report post Posted May 24, 2013 If you can raise your needle bar about 1/4" you can use 794 / DYx3. they have the same shank diameter and are readily available from all of our sponsor dealers on LW.net. Gump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gump Report post Posted May 24, 2013 As an after thought, I have 7 Schmetz size 23 bp needles I will send you if you are interested in sending an envelope to me that I can just drop into the mail back to you. Pm me if interested as I have no use for them as I converted my 145 w 103 because of availability and selection. Gump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted May 24, 2013 That looks like a single needle machine to me & the Singer 145 is a double needle that takes a shorter needle.How long is the needle you are using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
