jmsdad Report post Posted February 2, 2016 Any info on this machine? I can't find any info/review over the 'net. I will be looking at one this weekend. Main use will be for sewing/repairing packs and outdoor gear. Is this a walking foot machine? I think it has NO reverse? Does it have adjustable stitch length? Thanks in advance, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinkerTailor Report post Posted February 3, 2016 How about a copy of the manual. http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/111W152_153_154_155.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 3, 2016 The Singer 111w103 is a compound feed walking foot machine, one generation before the model 111w155.. It doesn't have either reverse or the shuttle jam protection clutch. As long as you hold back the starting threads (top and bottom) and never let the top thread jump out of the top tension disks, and never let the bobbin thread bind in the case, it will do a fine job sewing Naugahyde, banners, garments, webbing and leather, up to about 5/16 of an inch, with up to #138 bonded nylon or bonded polyester thread. It uses the standard system 135x16 (leather point) and 135x17 (round point) walking foot needles. Most jobs sewn on these machines are sewn with #69, 92 and 138 thread, using #18, 20 and 23 needles, respectively. The machine is manually oiled and is good for speeds up to about 2000 stitches per minute, or down to one per second. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
