New guy and Singer 31-15

[CasnerMtn]

Bought a Consew CP206RL. Wondering if the Consew CS1000 servo can be attached to this machine. This sewing machine has a plastic pedal. 

 

Thanks Don in Reno. I will reach out to Sailrite. I  watched a video on the monster wheel on Sailrite’s website. I like your ideas. Those two items will make a big difference.

Thanks

I was given a 1912 singer 31-15 complete with table,treddle stand and motor. I havent put it all together yet but use it as a table top, hand cranked. i am using 138 thread in needle and bobbin. couldnt do that with motor i dont believe. It works awesome. for thick leather i use the stitching prongs first and the longest stitch setting falls right in the holes. Make the stitches look great and fills holes. I do wallets and small novelty projects and some knife sheaths. I am very happy with the results of this set up. hope this helps someone

A huge upgrade is a sailrite monster wheel - it’s a larger hand wheel and comes with a larger belt.  Even though it’s a sailrite brand it fits the other clones like yours.  Sailrite also has smooth presser feet for leather and a number of other accessories - I’d check out their webpage.

Actually, from what I've seen and read on the Sailrite website, the feet for leather are checkered, not smooth. They still need to grab a hold of the top layer to pull it back. Smooth feet would tend to slip on the top unless it was very grabby.

If they now offer truly smooth bottom feet, I stand corrected.

Yes, you are correct!  The day I read through the Sailrite website an image stuck in my head of a smooth presser foot, but I retraced my steps and it was for an unrelated machine.  :-)

How is this machine working for you? What is the thickest leather you have sewed so far? I am new to leather and fairly new to sewing machines but it looks like this one could meet my budget if it will sew what I need. Thanks.
