when you have the free-arm exposed, look at the back of the arm. .... you should find the feed-dog lowering control. ... handy when sewing on buttons or free movement/embroidery sewing.
Actually take #110 (18? I guess ) needle and then start stitching about 6-8 layers of old jeans denim, not only one seam, but cruising around the same area, making folded hems or joining a few pieces as if you are making a messenger's bag to carry heavy stuff inside, at least 5-8kg. of load.
@@JebbAdams I have something zig-zag from 1960s vertical shuttle design patterns similar to Singers 200-400 series in mechanics I mean thick top shaft, inherited from Singer15, and still steel bottom shafts and links to the shuttle driver and feed dogs.The maximum size of the needle is #110. Whereas Singer15 is said to be able to fit into #120. :-)

Thanks for this Ed! My next video does point that out. Thanks for viewing and commenting! It is appreciated!

I immediately request the comparison test with at least Singer15-91 as a base level heavy duty standard!!!1
Hear, hear! Good idea!
