Singer 47k Sewing Machine

Nice and shiny now but took alot of elbow grease and tcut/polish to get to this point from the original condition..I found out later that in the making of horse blankets the thread is run through
a reservoir of grease ,this helps to waterproof the stitching from the weather when its on the horse. Unfortunately this also means that grease gets ground in to the machine .

The Singer 132K7 Has the standard foot as opposed to its sister machine The 132K6 which has is a walking foot model.





Large electric motor is needed to cope with the
thick fabric and even Leather that this machine can cope with.

I bought this machine through a local advert online , it was bought from a lovely lady who used to use it for sewing horse blankets but no longer had a use for it. I have spent a day cleaning it as it was very dirty through its former use. Had trouble sourcing the correct needles for it so i found one that was the right size and wrapped silver foil around the shank in order for the needle clamp to hold it tightly . I have used this machine with success and it is a joy to use when you understand the adjustments needed .
