bikermutt07 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 This is on Craigslist list locally. Thanks. Here's one more pic. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members CHARECO Posted May 18, 2017 Members Report Posted May 18, 2017 Not sure of the exact model but it appears to be in the style of a Singer 7 class machine. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted May 18, 2017 Members Report Posted May 18, 2017 I´d think twice if you really want this machine for leather work. It´s for sure great for very heavy canvas and webbing work. Look at it, test sew it and then decide.

Kohlrausch Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 Hi, I see a walking foot, so my guess is it's a Singer 7-33. Should have 9/16 " presser foot clearance. Greets Ralf C. Quote

bikermutt07 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Posted May 18, 2017 Owner claims that it sews leather great but needs minor adjustment. $600.00 Does this model have available parts and feet?

Members Constabulary Posted May 18, 2017 Members Report Posted May 18, 2017 It for sure sews leather - domestic machines also sew leather - question is it the right machine for your project. Sewing a few straight lines on some scrap leather is not really leather work - if you know what I mean.

CowboyBob Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 Yes,it's a workhorse BUT it's more suited for webbing & canvas since it has feed dogs in it & the feet are awful large too.Years ago we used to rebuild a lot of these & even modify them to sew over 3/4" & also used to put reverse on them.I think this might be one we worked on since it has a thread lock the same handwheel on it & we used to paint them gray.Some of the parts are getting hard to find.Since the 441 style sew with better looking results we stopped selling the Singer 7's years ago.

Trox Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 That's what I call a handwheel, I think it is a Adler cl. 20. Based on the fixing of the leaf spring on top of the head, on the Singer 7 the base of the spring is casted in the head. Hard to see clearly on these pictures.
