I used my Singer 319W in my MUTT (Multi-Use Traveling Treadle) today. First, I had to change tops. I had the flat top on the stand from fiddling with a table-top machine the last time that I used it, so I had to put the Singer top back on it. Tops are changed by removing and replacing 4 screws. It just takes a couple of minutes.
The belt that I use for my Singer 66-18 ended up being the correct length for the 319W. I use a 2-piece belt (2 clips) on my MUTT to adjust to different belt lengths by changing a short section out with another short section to make the complete belt. Both clips have one end crimped onto the belt, and the other end formed into a hook that I can take apart.
The first order of business was to wind a bobbin of black thread. My test project is to mend holes in a pair of insulated coveralls, and the lining is black. The outer shell is gray. No modifications were needed to the bobbin winder, since I’m using the original balance wheel. I have photos of the mending job, but I think that I’ll start another thread about that.
