Usage Information

  • Needle size: 29x3 (cloth), 29x4 (leather)

Universal feed arm for leather stitching.

A range of machines commonly used by shoemakers and leatherworkers for their versatility, in particular for repairing boots and shoes. Many shoemakers use them still today.

There is no under-feed, but the machine has a simple and effective top-feed mechanism, which is arranged to carry the work in any direction the operator needs.

The progenitor of the class 29 was the U.F.A., "Universal Feed Arm"

About the data shown here

The information here about decals is based on “Documented Machines” currently recorded in our database. We currently do not have an official Singer source about which decals were in use where, when and on which machines.

The information about factories and serials, instead, is based on the official Singer factory records that survived, plus the “Documented machines” we could verify.

Our dataset is continuously growing as new machines are documented and shared by collectors and researchers. As a result, the details presented here should be considered indicative and may be updated over time.

Contributions are very welcome: if you own or know of a vintage Singer machine, please feel free to submit information via the form or contact us to help improve and expand this research.

Do you want instead to identify your Singer sewing machine age and/or model? You can use our Singer Serial Number Database Lookup.
