Putting Together a Hand Cranked 115 for Remote On-Board Canvas Repairs?
I've been using a 127 hand crank for remote or on-board canvas sewing repairs. It works well, but, I recently got a good buy on a 115 with a 9 spoke hand-wheel. The 115 will be heavier to carry around but it's bulk also is a plus for the type sewing I do - usually patching a hole, tear, or resewing seams. I have an after market hand crank and an original Singer crank. The machine should be here in a few days and I'm excited to make it the goto monster remote sewing machine with #16 or 18 needles and V-69 or 92 thread.
Am I using solid thinking here? CD, I'd especially like your take on this. I'm interested in all conversation concerning the 115 in addition to thoughts on hank cranking it.
