Singer 111w155 or Singer 111w154

Recommended Posts

I have a chance to purchase either the singer 111w155 or a singer 111w154. I mainly make men's wallets which are usually 1/4" in thickness.

Can anyone let me know what the differences are between these two machines, and which one is better for making leather wallets also what's the maximum and minimum thread and needle size can these machines handle.

Thank you

Don A.

Yes, but the 111w155 has more clearance under the feet, longer maximum stitch length and a higher speed top speed.

Thanks, unfortunately the singer 111w155 was sold, is the 154 worth purchasing for $450 ?

I found this singer 111w155, I think it's been painted, surface scratches appear to have black underneath but I'm not completely sure, the serial number is W1376837

Can anyone tell me how old it is and where it was maid

It sewed my leather very nicely using #138 thread on top

He is asking $600 for the head,table and consew clutch motor, it's been serviced and cleaned

Is this setup worth $600 ?

I would hold out for a machine with reverse.  If you plan to hand tie your first and last stitch, this feature may not matter for you.
