Singer 111W155 Stitch Length

[Gregg @ Keystone Sewing]

It is a dial with numbers etched into it, this is definately where the length is adjusted.

If you've never seen this stitch length setup, it's kind of cool, and a lot different than how it's commonly done on modern machines;

your picture didn't work. 

[Gregg @ Keystone Sewing]

Your fast!@#

I posted and then fixed the post start to finish in under one minute!

Sheesh, you guys are demanding!

[slow96z]

Sorry, not trying to be demanding, just wanted to point out it didn't work.  So given this design and the serial number I pm'd you, would you say I'm close in my guess of the 1911 vintage?

slow96z,

I was VERY much only joking with the demanding comment, sorry, sarcasim and online humor can seem brash and obnixous if your not up to speed.  PM Mojo for clarifaction!@#  LOL, again, just kidding, but not really.   :P

As for S/N, yes, this seems accurate for this model.  If it works and your happy with it, that's all that matters.  Most parts are avaible.

Sending books by email as soon as I have this, and don't mind if I have a little fun here, don't take my posts too serious.  I'm on to learn, have fun, and interact with my virtual freinds just like everybody else, and would never type anything to offend anyone intennionally.

Oh, I'm up to speed and probably a bigger smarta$$ than most folks you know, but I'm still pretty new on here and trying to be polite before I let my true colors shine....

Even not having reverse I love it.  I bought it  20 years ago from some place in Lowell mass

Your in great company here. There are a few of us that love being smart asses ( me included ).

It has taken me two years but I have finally started to instill some humor in Greg. He is finally learning I like to tease him
and mean nothing by my posts. All humor and all fun. And just yesterday he found I will even take shots at my buddies
like that other machine dealer Bob.

Its all great fun here and the vast majority of us love bantering and teasing each other. :)

Cool pic Greg. The description is cut off though. Is that a cam right below CC? That would explain how the stitch length gets changed.

[Tejas]

I had guessed that rather than a cam, the stitch-length change was dependent upon contact with the cone. Having said that, I'm unable to locate anything like that on the 111W155.
