Wintersunset Report post Posted April 27, 2019 How much does a Singer 7-10 worth in a good working condition? I'm looking to buy a machine for saddlery work. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sioux Saddlery Report post Posted April 27, 2019 While I have never used a Singer 7-10, I can tell you that this would not be a good choice for saddlery type work, even if it does have the ability to sew the thickness required. It appears to have very aggressive teeth on the feed dog, which will chew up the back side of anything lined with smooth leather. The foot looks clunky and you will not be able to get into the tight spots you will need to, although other feet may be available, or this one could be modified. Additionally, a cylinder arm is generally better suited to saddlery type work than a flatbed machine. It has become a buyer's market on the harness and saddle stitchers since the "clones" came on the market. There are great old machines for sale for half the price of what they used to bring.
