Due diligent work there! It was amazing to see your careful sewing machine adjustments did not affect *the* *timing* of your machine!

Harry I've just started watching your videos and already I know they will help me immensely. Easily understood and thorough., Thank you!

Thanks Mike.

Installation went smoothly and easily with your guidance. Thank you for your instructions. FYI: I purchased my kit through Amazon and was able to get a kit specifically for the 331K. I have the 331K4 and it fit perfectly. Thank you again Harry.

very interesting mr Rogers, i am going to try it out on my old singer, this has given me inspiration to boldly go to the unknown.

Thank you very much! I looked your videos searching a solution for another thing and you gave me the solution!!! Magical ;D

Excellent video. Prior to the video, I was unaware of the roller/wheel function.

Very nice job, Mr Rogers I wait to see those high top cowboy boots.

good visuals, nice job. looks like you have it fine tuned ready to sew

very interesting, well explained, good visuals, nice job done well

You are a wonderful teacher!

Wonderful, well explained. Thanks Harry

Thanks for your videos btw. Very didactic and educational. Excellent job.

I had never seen one of these rollers installed, thanks for sharing. Now, you had trouble adjusting the height of the presser foot because you didn't follow the normal procedures. To ensure the presser foot is properly adjusted you must keep at least a 1mm distance between the presser foot raising cam and the contact point before you tighten the presser foot bar clamp, I just stick a thin screwdriver between the two contact surfaces and it works like a charm.

Good job sir. Thanks for enlightenment.

thank you for a splendid video. Gunsmithing screwdrivers are the best tools to work with, especially on stubborn screws. The tips are configured so that there is NO TAPER where the tip enters the slot. check them out.

I put this roller foot on my singer 241-12 and had to do modifications to the roller foot itself to clear the needle bar. But I got it working good. The new feed dog and plate were horrible so I ended up using the original feed dog which was close to the new one

Great Video, Harry! You now have a new subscriber!

FANTASTIC, EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! But this Roller foot is for a high shank sewing machine, where I can get this for a low shank sewing machine?

Hi Harry, Where did you buy the conversion kit? Can you do this to other old singers?

Hi Harry, great video as usual. Do you mind me asking where you sourced your conversion kit from please? Thanks once again.

Where am I able to buy a conversion kit. I have a 201K (201p in Australia)

Hi Harry, I've been following your videos. I am wondering if you have a link to buy the plate and feed dog by any chance handy? Thanks a million.

Hola de cuántas pulgadas son los 2 pulle

So you're going to loop the loop on a sewing machine - wearing a flying jacket I hope ! This film ( I NEARLY put "video" - oh dear ! ) whilst demonstrating a roller wheel, also has been a "fantastically" useful demonstration of the mechanics of the business end of the machine. ( Do you remember back in the 1960s when there were decent programmes on television, there was an old time music hall on BBC, with a gentleman Leonard Sachs dressed up as a Victorian with a starched mustache who tapped with a gavel and introduced comedy acts - he always used big words such as "fantastically", and whenever he did so, the audience gasped ? If HE can say "fantastically, so can we ! ) Anyway, your latest descriptive film going to be useful when I finally get around to maintaining my 1896 flying shuttle machine ! Yes there was a manual for it on the ISMACS website - thank you SO much for pointing me in the direction of that information source ! Beautiful, geometrically correct stitches that you are already getting on your machine in your film. Lovely to see it, and to hear the equally perfect click clack of the mechanism. A joy to see and to hear ! Thank you for all of this ! Time to enjoy a mug of tea to celebrate - cheers !

Hi Harry, thanks for taking the time to Come back to my other anvil question. Ive just purchased a Singer 331k4 on ebay it works (just about) but is a bit of a cosmetic mess so the plan is to completely restore and doing the hand crank conversion. Assuming that I did the roller foot conversion, used a sensible needle and strong bonded nylon thread what sort of thickness of veg tan leather do you think Ill be able to sew through? Thanks Steve

Thanks very much for all your videos. I have a question about my 31k I recently bought. I'm wondering about the type of needle I need (regular or industrial ? ), I'm sewing leather, and I'd like to be sure to use the proper accessories with it ! Another question, I'm sewing (trying to) oiled leather, not very thick but bolky and stiff, with a 120 leather needle (regular, not industrial), it goes fine when I sew one layer of this leather with another type of leather on it, but 2 layers of oiled leather and the needle is barely impossible to move, even by hand, and it sounds like something is touching the needle underneath (the hook probably, not happening with other types of leather...). Help !?

@harryrogers

Hi Claire...sorry I no longer have this machine, but you need to Google the correct needle, as I recall it was an industrial type. It you go for an raw type you will get a nice stitch for leather. It sounds like you need a thicker needle for the thick leather as it might be flexing.

I think the Singer 66 is low shank unlike this Singer 331k and I am not aware of a roller like this that you can get for the Singer 66, but you can get a standard foot with little wheels. Maybe someone here cab advise further.

After all that effort, one can see why some people keep machines dedicated to specific functions.

Good job! But that is so fiddly you will probably want to get another Singer so you can have one with the normal system and one with the roller foot - - - then you will have to increase your work area of course . . .

Why you did not mark where you were going to make adjustments is beyond me. Also why didn't you just file the dog plate instead? You could have saved much time and no need to move anything out of timing. Just my opinion and it does not mean much. Thank you for the video.

Good idea to file the dog plate...it was quick and easy to grind off the side of the dog, but I think your suggestion of filing the plate is better. I did not mark as I know what works...what really caught me out was the different shape of the hook recess...I assumed it would be the same as a genuine Singer part, but the arm indent was very slightly different. Thanks for your comments. Rgds Harry
