[TheHollerLW]

I found this on CL and i am curious what everyone thinks.

I Do everything from holster work to wallets etc, i currently use a Tippman Boss with 346 thread, i understand this machine wont do that. I am going to use this machine for my smaller projects.

 

What is the largest thread i can use with this machine

Whats the thickets oz. i can sew?

Im picking this up for 250$ on Sunday

 

thank everyone

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.
