hyper172 0 #1 December 27, 2008 I just came across a singer 111w152. I know it is best for medium heavy weight materials. But with its compound feed, can it be used for patching canopies if used with a 16 or 18 needle? I know it is less than ideal, but is it an option?

JerryBaumchen 1,168 #2 December 27, 2008 Hi hyper, Yes, it can be used for patching canopies. The late Al Zilk did all of his canopy patching/mods with one. It will take some experience to get the technique down; have a go at it & learn. Also, I am of the opinion ( yup, I said it ) that if one is not someone who does stitching on a very regular basis then you should gear any machine down as slow as you can. Some times you just inadvertently step on the 'go' pedal and all H*** breaks loose. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
