Singer 42-5 stitch length

[Nix]

I have that big double set of feed dogs -- it's like two parallel sets of long feed dogs (part no. 5840 in the book) -- for mine. However, I'm lacking a correct needle plate that you need to go with it. The corresponding needle plate would be part no. 5881.

Is that set-up designed to produce fewer stitches per inch or a better feeding of goods, or both?

Hi Uwe,

I have a 42-5 - I would be grateful if you could remember where you obtained your new needle bar for yours please - mine appears to be bent. Many thanks,

Sam,

Sam, this post is over 4 years old, I think you would be better to start a new post, rather then try to use something this old.

Bert.

PS.

Did you get your manuals?
