Moderator Wizcrafts Posted September 20, 2018 Moderator Report Posted September 20, 2018 The Singer 111w155 is good for up to #138 bonded nylon thread. It can sew 3/8 inch of compressed material. It uses System 135x16 leather point and 135x17 round point needles. The maximum stitch length is longer than 4 to the inch. This is a great upholstery grade machine that is useful for sewing intermediate density leather projects, parachutes, banners, tarps, denim jeans, webbing and tow straps. The machine only sews forward. You need to spin the work around to lock in the stitches.
