We picked up a Singer 211G151 today for a great price and and its a really sweet machine. It even has the auto oil feature. It sews like a dream and I couldn't ask for a better machine but here's my question:
I've read the specs online about the machine at various internet websites and some of them refer to the machine as a "Walking foot" and others say it isn't.
To make things even more confusing there are a variety of presser feet available for the machine. Some of the presser feet would suggest the presser foot bars are interchangeable. Is this a feature of the Singer 211G151?
Anyone who may have had experience with this model of machine I sure would appreciate any input you have.
Thanks in advance!
Jim
I just did a bit of homework on this model (there are many, many 211 suclass machines).
Your machine is made in Germany, (211G151) and is a needle feed, not a walking foot.
Machine IS suitable for canvas work, and canvas materials and threads, but will not handle certain materials as well as a walking foot would in some instances.
As for presser feet, a needle fee machine takes different feet than a walking foot. What kind of feet are you looking for?
I've been thinking about getting a roller foot.
Do you have anything that would fit the 211?
