LBennett Report post Posted June 19, 2013 This is the machine i have, Just looking for tips and advice on threads, needles etc to use with it. Bought it from a gentleman that used it mainly for making motorcycle leathers. So far i've only used it to repair a couple horse blankets and farrier chaps!! Thank you in advance!~ Linda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gump Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Well, this machine can be used with one or two needles simply by removing 1 needle and bobbin [remove left side for single needle]. It will sew up to 3/8" thickness. It can easily handle #138 thread and should give you 6 stitches to the inch or better. It is an old Singer that is as tough as nails and loves it's oil. It should be using 135 x 16 needles for leather, 135 x 17 for cloth, but may be set up for other length needles.There is a lot of information on this site for 111/211- 155's that are the single needle version of your machine, set up, threading ,adjusting tension etc. Gump.
