Members medivh25 Posted February 12, 2020 Members Report Posted February 12, 2020 Hello folks, I have a 111w something for sale locally that is missing the identification badge. Was wondering if there was another way to id this machine. I know its not a 155 because when i looked at it the stitch length only goes to 5 and its my understanding the 155 will do 3.5 spi. Its a decent machine overall for 200 with a crappy table. Owner has no idea what model it is either. It is a walking foot model Quote
Members Tejas Posted February 12, 2020 Members Report Posted February 12, 2020 The 111w class brochure link in the following thread might help. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/88340-singer-111w155-or-singer-111w154/ Quote
Members medivh25 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) That brochure is really cool, but doesnt really help much. Im gonna go ahead and pick this machine up for 200. Its a walking foot and will compliment my 211w151 nicely i think. Im a hobbyist and mostly doing marine viynl and canvas stuff for my own boat. My gut says its probly a 111w152 but really have no way to tell just know it is a walking foot and can do 5spi so that narrows it down a bit. Attached a crappy pic of it Edited February 13, 2020 by medivh25 Added pic Quote
Members Tejas Posted February 13, 2020 Members Report Posted February 13, 2020 I also did mostly vinyl and marine canvas for my sailboat. As for the type of machine for that application, I strongly favor a compound walking-foot machine vs a walking-foot machine -- the addition of needle-feed to walking-foot makes a huge difference. My first machine was a 111W155 that could do almost everything I can do with my current Juki 1508. Quote
