Members Mudruck Posted September 8, 2015 Members Report Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Looking for some information on these machines. I have no clue about use, value or if they could even be used for leatherwork at all. The first is a Singer marked 52-60. This thing has 10 needles! They look to be pretty fine and must be used with a fairly light thread. Close up of the model label. The next is a machine that is much heavier in weight than the SInger. It is marked Metropolitan. This machine only has 6 needles. Markings of the end plate for the one marked Metropolitan. Any information on these machines would be greatly appreciated. -Mudruck Edited September 8, 2015 by Mudruck Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted September 8, 2015 Moderator Report Posted September 8, 2015 These multi-needle machines are used to make cloth garments in factories. They are of absolutely no use to a leathercrafter. Do not entertain any ideas to the contrary. I hope you didn't invest money in them, unless you are going into the cloth garment industry.. Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.

Members Mudruck Posted September 10, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I needed. Actually I didn't spend anything on them at all. Someone gave them to me as a gift and I figure if I can't use them for what I need, I can hopefully sell them off maybe... somewhere... hopefully. lol Quote
