Members Singermania Posted August 26, 2016 Members Report Posted August 26, 2016 Needle wise, the last one I had was set up with a 214/216 (singer 45K, 132K6) needle. Quote
Members cdthayer Posted August 26, 2016 Members Report Posted August 26, 2016 My recollection is that the -64 is the needle feed version, but others will know more and will confirm either way. A very good machine!! Didn't the Old-timers call the -64 needle-feed style a "jump foot" machine? CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members vmi Posted August 26, 2016 Author Members Report Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks to all of you. Itis a needle feed machine that uses what appears to be a dyx- 23 and other sizes Quote

CD in Oklahoma Don't think so, the Singer 132K6 was loosely called a walking foot machine but was actually a jump foot, ie the foot would follow the material back thru friction and then lift and jump forward via spring and drop down again on the material. Not strictly a walking foot as it didn't actually mechanically feed the material, but did reduce top drag. Quote
