Singer 7 Class

[tnawrot2]

I just bought a Singer 7 class, it doesn't have a tag but I think it is a 7-31. The foot lift is 9/16", I have seen some converted to 1" lift, does anyone know how this is done, and if so where would I get the parts required.

Yes. Contact Bob Kovar, owner of Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines, at 866-362-7397. If no happy happy, try Gregg, at Keystone Sewing, or Dan at Campbell-Randall.

We used to do these all the time,you won't need any parts,just braze in about 1/2" of the slot on the piece of metal on the hand lifter & the when you lift up the foot you'll see where it'll be hitting when you turn the machine over by hand.Then take it apart & grind it so you have clearance.The problem is you need a longer needle like the 1000H which isn't made in a leather point(I'm assuming you want to sew leather)

Thanks Bob, that's the information I was looking for.
