Difference Between The 31K Xx Models And 31K32?

[alexitbe]

The Singer 31k manual says it is relevent to all 31k's except the 32. Why is this? Is the 32 still capable of sewing leather?

Obviously, I have the chance to buy a 31K32 and am curious why the 31k manual specifically exclude this model. I really would like a sewing machine that can do leather.

Any help would be greatfully recieved.

Thanks

ISMACS says the 31K32 is the same as the 31K15 except it and the 31-32 both have "reversable drop feed". Sounds interesting!

The 31 is a tailor machine not intended to sew leather.

It will sew leather, but how tick do you want to sew !/4 inch or less. 92 thread is tops smaller is better.

Thanks guys, for clarifying its purpos. I will pass on it then. I am looking for a heavy duty sewing machine to go with my new patcher..

Any Adlers or Singers you woul recommend? I would like to be able to sew two 4mm pieces of leather.

For 8mm you are getting into proper heavy machine territory such as 45 class.

A good 42-5 may do it but you are pushing it.
