Singer 97-10

[houndsnmules]

What size screws does the 97 take if you want to put a material guide on? #2 My singer 97 sews fine until a transition between 1-2,1-3 pieces of leather. it missies 3-4 stitches then it picks it up again. I set the needle bar to spec. I'm thinking the shuttle hook is worn its not broken but it doesn't have a real sharp point. Thanks in advance!

Try going up one needle size.

I have seen guys sew with a leather or plastic wedge behind the foot as the foots going from thick layers down to thin layers.  It works.
