MADMAX22 Report post Posted February 20, 2017 So saw one of these singer 61w for sale locally. I was curious how they compare to a 31-15? I understand the 61w is a fast cloth machine, drop feed. Can you set these up with a wheel type foot and use it in place of what you would use a 31 for? The 61 looks a tad stronger in pics anyhow. Thanks for any info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted February 20, 2017 No,trust me on this one,I would doubt if it would handle # 69 thread & it won't ever sew as thick as a 31-15.It was one of Singers 1st high-speed machines for garment factories. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
