The Upholstery Forum

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and to the sewing world.... I have someone selling a Singer 331K6 industrial machine near me. I'm interested in it but I need to get more information, which is proving difficult even online. The owner doesn't know anything about it....

So here I am, hoping to get some help.

I just want to know general information really, such as it's capabilities with different materials from sheer/light to thicker fabrics, maintenance, ease or difficulty of finding parts, etc.

Thankyou in advance!

Dannielle.

Hello there and welcome to the forum. Pictures will help but it appears to be a roller feed and maybe even roller presser foot. Not exactly a machine that i would reccommed for upholstery but you could do worse. Foot won't lift very high so you'll be limited to what you can cram beneath the foot. Likely a very short stitch length and i doubt that you can get the 16-6 needles in sizes large enough for anything bigger than 69 thread. I think you can get by using it for some projects but you'll be handicapping yourself a bit vs a triple feed machine.

Thankyou
