art23 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Hi my name is art . I just bought this singer 111w155, and I have an opportunity to get the 111w154 head only for $100.which would be a better machine for me. I'm currently sewing belts (1/4 inch and less)with a singer 66 on 69 thread a lot of people seem to be satisfied with the thread size but I want it to be at least 135 or higher. also between the 111w's and the 211g165 which would be the better machine or what else is out there????????

Greystone Report post Posted May 30, 2013 my thoughts is the one that's paid for,,,,,, but I have a 211A 166 aa w/ a servo motor and sr2 speed reducer from Leather Machine co and use 138 top n bottom for similar things and very happy my $0.02 and over priced at that db Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) The 111w155 is a little better than the 111w154 & they both work better than a 211 for sewing leather since they have a larger handwheel on them.But I'd buy it for $100.00 myself.You can never have to many machines.

Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted June 5, 2013 A man after my own heart! For $100 it is always a machine you can trade or a spare for parts.
