Which feed dog for a needle feed machine with a roller presser foot?

[alexitbe]

Hello all,

 

I have a strange singer 111w, which is needle feed only.

I have an old singer rolling presser foot, but no matching needle plate or feed dogs.

I understand that I need a single line feed dog, but there seems to be two types.  One with a teeth both infront and behind the needle hole and another type with teeth only behind.

I will need to do sharp turns and I wonder if the feed dog with teeth behind the hole would be best.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks

Alex

I doubt they would work properly as there is not much plane on the feed dog where the roller could rest on. Have you checked the parts list for the 111wxxx you have? AFAIK the 111w141 with roller foot have a single row fed dog but the machine is not needle feed but drop feed (but not 100% sure).

Hi Constabulary,

 

I will post a picture of what I have... It is a real bastardised Singer 111w  It has a lever for stitch length adjustment and also does reverse.  Its German made and is called Singer 111wd180.  I can find no information on it..

It came with a spare presser bar with a roller attached.  So I have installed it and wish to set it up properly.

Cheers

Alex

PS I now have a spare shuttle carrier for the Claes.  Maybe you can convert your 201 to the larger spool 203... I can lend it to you for an extended period...

Really would like to see pictures. I also have 111 (WD I guess) needle feed from the former Wittenberge, Prussia factory but have to pull it out to check what model it exactly is....
