Hey Antinomy, I would say that the 29K would not be ideal for sewing in hat sweatbands, although, with some patience and practice, I suppose it could be done. Singer made the 107-1 and 107-2 machines specifically for that purpose with the slanted head to properly sew in the band, but the originals are rare and the clones are a couple grand at least. One can hand sew a lot of sweatbands for that kind of money. Still, if you do any kind of leather work, as I do, and ever need to repair shoes, boots, belts, leather bags, etc. the Singer 29 is invaluable. If the price is right it is definitely a very cool and useful machine to have around. I wouldn't trade my 29K71 for anything.Dear friends!
I have an opportunity to buy singer 29k sewing machine for low price. Is it good for sweatband stitching or not?
