Do you know if the SHD machine can sew Sunbrella/Pfifertex material?

Would this singer model be ok for sewing polypropylene webbing?

I find it relaxing to listen to your explanations while I do other projects

The problem with this method is you are undervolting it and thus it cannot do thick fabric on low speed. The solution would be to have a motor that has less rng with a gear reduction method of some sort with full throttle and voltage.

which one is the best for silicone/leather please ? it's not always clear which material is tested. thank you

Can I purchase a peed controller and plug the sewing machine into it to lower the speed using the out controller?

I have some olderamos and all of them seem to have a hard time turning the sewing machine.The motor sounds like it's in a strain

I don't seem to be hearing the motor strain.When it's in slow motcan you explain this please

I just love all of your tutorials! I just ordered a 4423 machine for the little bit of leather work that I do. I would love to see a tutorial on where you oil your machine. I can’t find any good tutorials on where these machines are oiled.

Can the Granny Wheel be used on the 6800c?

Great video! Bless your heart

I purchased the Granny Wheel for my Singer Heavy Duty and added the plastic handle from the Sailrite Speed Reduction Wheel that I wasn't using to one of the wood balls. It is perfect!

Is the singer 4432 is better than the 4423? Im trying to get one according to amazon 4423 is more popular. Which singer model would you recommend good sir? I mainly use it to hem my denim jeans.

Thank you so much!

Your background music is not needed

Will there sell machine handle on 19 needle? I'm so canvas sail ⛵️ sailboat You can let me know. Thank you. Where'd you get to switch to slow the motor down? I like that😊

Thanks for sharing your experience, i agree the heavy tread gives the items a magical look. The symmetry of the machine stitch is (IMO ) desirable and thanks to your explanation an achievable goal . Good luck .

Thank you for this video. The info here answered a lot of the questions I had about the Singer heavy duty and the difference between the Singer and the much bigger industrial machines. Thank you.

Very clever. KISS.

I saw that Schmetz makes a 120/90 needle that works with T90 thread that will fit a Singer. I have a bunch of V92 thread that I have used on my Singer 6680 Heavy Duty with a Jeans needle with ok results. If the 120/90 needle fits my machine shouldn't I theoretically be able to use the V92 thread, if you are saying what limits you to V69 is the needle size of 110/18? I would really like to use the thread I have on hand. I learned more in your video than anything I have seen to date. Thanks for sharing! ps...I have a Granny Wheel on the way, too!

I put your hand wheel in my Amazon "things to buy" list. 🙂

You gotta clamp that stuff .

well done. cheers

I'd love for you to help me with my machine...Sailrite has been no help..My LZ1 doesn't sew two pieces of anything together consistently...Ready to use it as a spare boat anchor

Hi Granny Wheels, I have a singer 834 and the foot pedal has a carbon disk rheostat, not a circuit board that you show. One terminal has a long flat plate type connector and the other a regular female connector. Can this setup be modified with yours?

i need link for arcylic die please

wow your youtube channel is gold ! thank you for all the infos :)

Thanks for the comparison! :)

I have the HD to me it is a good starter but I definitely need something much bigger

Thank you for you videos, big fan. What adjustable presser foot are you using?

I got a singer heavy duty 4411 and i genuinely can’t find out what’s wrong with it. I try to thread it multiple times and it is always weird when i try to test a piece of any fabric. Idk what to do at this point sob.

The Sailrite is not an industrial machine. It is a portable heavy duty machine with a walking foot. It's all about the punch power from the motor.

@grannywheels did you know that you can dial down the potentiometer top left in the foot pedal to slow it down as well ?

That new Singer model is garbage... it easily breaks. Just get an old Singer model.

thanks for this. great video. wanted to mention there is an adjustable potentiometer(adjusted with a small flathead screwdriver) in the singer foot pedal. its right beside "VR2" on the main board. at 12:18 the manual feed handle you made on the singer machine is genius

You can open the foot pedal of the singer. Inside in the corner, there is a speed adjuster. A circled thingy which you can adjust with a tiny screwdriver. This should help a lot.

"Heavy Duty Singer vs Sailrite is like a Yugo vs Mercedes

Excellent information

Thanks for the comparison. As a furniture maker and applying Arborite to plywood for counter tops, when I used contact cement the label instructions were to let both sides dry until they are not tacky to the touch before placing the pieces together. And the strength of the bond is also according to the pressure of the join at time of contact. Which is relevant to this video. A smoother, more even coating on both sides and high pressure at the bond would make the leather extremely difficult to peel off.

כיף לראות בארץ מישהו שמשקיע ככה באומנות הזאת. בהצלחה ושמור על עצמך. לגבי מכונה שתופרת חוט עבה: מכונות זרוע שמשתמשים בהן לסנדלרות והכנת תיקים עם המחט הנכונה מותאמות לחוט עבה ועבודות עור. כרגע הן לא בתקציב שלי ובעיקר לא בנדלן של הבית. משתמש במכונת זינגר ביתית ישנה משנות החמישים שמתמודדת עם עוביים של עור מפתעים ביותר. אכן העובי המקסימלי שלה הוא 0.3 ממ.

The sailrite is not an industrial machine. Even sailrite calls it a heavy duty sewing machine. For a sewing machine to be called industrial there are parameters that have to be met that the sailrite machine doesn’t even come close to. Now the sailrite fabricator is an industrial sewing machine, but the LS1 and the LZ1 are just heavy duty.

I hate my Singer HDuty 4452. I used it gleefully about 3x, and then something went wrong and now it wont sew through thin cotton. I bought an 120 year old Singer treadle machine to use instead I was so upset. The HD4452 just sits and I am thinking of selling it strongly. However, watching you here is kind of mind blowing. I may have to relook at why my Machine went out. Any advice is welcome Sir.

Muchas gracias por los consejos, quisiera una sailrite, espero en algún momento poder comprarla.

Please can I have the link of your presser Heavy Duty’s foot? Not the kit….the single one that you use in your videos….🙏🙏🙏🙏thank you so much

Very useful. thank you from Italy.

Next pellet gun versus 45 acp what one's better ?

I have the Ultrafeed LSZ model with the monster wheel. I have been doing some leather, but your demo was awesome. One thing I do have is a few sets of feed dogs and presser feet. The set for canvas is serrated, very sharp. It will leave a track on leather and even waxed canvas. So I have another set that is smooth, and another that has a light knurling. Sailrite does say that if you have a special request for feet that you should let them know. They might make it! I am quite happy with Sailrite, their customer service is awesome, great vids on yourtube, and they sell a ton of stuff for sewing.

Hallo, kannst Du mir bitte sagen welchen Nähfüße Du benutzt um das Leder zu nähen?😅

Thank you so much for producing this video. I’m a hobbyist leather maker and spending big money on a sailrite is just not justifiable at this time. Really great content that helped out. 👍

My sewing machine has the same pedal, however I opened it and the machine won’t start near the high end/the start of the slider: it would only start running when the slider reaches near the lower end. I would say only the lower 25% length of the slider actually starts the machine, that gives very little room to control the speed. Any idea why would this be like that? Can it be fixed? I see a potentiometer there inside the pedal, could turning it help on this?
