Members cazmocc Posted December 16, 2015 Members Report Posted December 16, 2015 I have a Singer 29K 58 boot patcher machine but can't use it as I have not got the screws to fix it onto the treadle base. I am in the UK so tried College Sewing Machines but to no avail. Can anyone help me source them? I am pretty sure that their part number is 88418E and I need 4. Quote

Members Constabulary Posted December 16, 2015 Members Report Posted December 16, 2015 I have a set of 4 screws from a 29K73 but I think the long arm patchers are using the same screws, the short ram patchers ahd screws with smaller diameter afaik. I´ll send you a PM.

Members mmike956 Posted December 18, 2015 Members Report Posted December 18, 2015 I have a 29K58 and mine connects with 1/4-20 screws, 3/4 to 1 inch long with domed slot head. Quote Machines in use; Singer 29K58, 154W101, 153W102, 31-15, 31-20
Members shoepatcher Posted December 18, 2015 Members Report Posted December 18, 2015 The 29K58 head was attached to the base with screws that are 9/32" x 20 TPI. You can order generic Singer screw #50632 which is that size and pitch and it works fine. That is what I use now. The former screw is no longer available. Early Singer 29's used a 3/16" x 28 screw to fasten the head to the stand . I believe it was screw #122. The #128 is the same screw only shorter and that is still made because it is the screw to attach the end of the head to arm. glenn Quote
Members cazmocc Posted December 19, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 19, 2015 Thank you for your help everyone - I will send for some of the generic Singer screws that shoepatcher suggested. I feel very supported as I start out on my leather working journey to know that there are people out there with all the answers! Carol Quote
Members mmike956 Posted March 5, 2016 Members Report Posted March 5, 2016 Can this machine work well with 92 bonded nylon, top and bobbin too? Quote Machines in use; Singer 29K58, 154W101, 153W102, 31-15, 31-20
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 5, 2016 Moderator Report Posted March 5, 2016 Can this machine work well with 92 bonded nylon, top and bobbin too? Yes, but that is the maximum size. Use #19 or 20 needles with #92 thread.

Members mmike956 Posted March 5, 2016 Members Report Posted March 5, 2016 Many thanks! The 29K looks more robust than it really is. But it's still a wonderful machine to have. It'll reach some tight spots. I've ordered a cam roller to hopefully get the slop out of the walking foot. Stitch length is a little short to suit me. The current roller has a flat spot on it.

Members Constabulary Posted March 5, 2016 Members Report Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I´m sewing 138 w/o problems. You should also change the bell crank lever. If one roller has a flat spot check the other rollers too. EDIT: but 138 Polyester not Nylon!
