Members BattleAx Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 I found a Singer 7-34 it dates back to 1924 it will sew over 1" of leather. This machine was rebuilt in 1995 by the Singer Company and was set up with reverse, the gentleman I bought it from used it to make and repair saddles and harnesses in the Upper Peninsula of MI. This machine is in very good condition I was very lucky to fine it. The drive up there from IL was about 6 hours and was worth the ride. Quote

Members Constabulary Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 Holy Cow - what a fly wheel!!! I don´t see a stitch length adjuster and how do you put it in reverse? Or am I missing something?

Members BattleAx Posted January 18, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 The peddle on the right is for reverse. To adjust the stitch length there is a bolt on the left side of the deck for the adjustment. It was set up with reverse by the Singer Company that is way the stitch length adjuster is not on the front of the machine. I love these old Sewing Machine. Quote
Members simran Posted April 2, 2015 Members Report Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I would love to figure out how to put reverse on my #7! BTW that is a very nice machine. I'd like to see a close up of the foot on that bugger. Edited April 2, 2015 by simran Quote Simran
