Actually the # 319W was made at the Singer plant in Bridgeport Conn. It was previously the Wheeler and Wilson plant and purchased by Singer around 1900.
You can make almost any machine do anything, if you don't mind that you may shorten the life of it. I prefer to use my 319 for its intended purpose - household sewing.
Singer also manufactured a Model 216G machine in their Karlsruhe, Germany factory. I am 'Blessed" to own one. Thankfully, it was designed to use the standard 15X1 needles.
I have a W model also, but mine does not have blind hem as one of the built in stitches-weird! Oh and it's all aluminum body-- both base and arm. I didn't weigh it but would guess it to be closer to 30 pounds. But I do agree that it is a special model. But I use my 15-91 for heavy sewing.
Hi, you can see page 16 of the singer 319 manual just the line before the last line : heavy material comparable to " sailcloth, Denim..." i wasnt telling lies.
And you can use your machine any way you like, I choose not to use mine for the same thing. Can't get big enough needles to use it for such fabric anyway. I have a 201 for that kind of work.
