Looking for a Singer 107-1,2 ASM 1107 or any sweatband sewing machine

[George Leca]

Dear fellow hatters and milliners,
I am looking to buy and elusive ASM 1107 or Singer 107-1,2 sewing machine (used or new) or any other machine that will do the job of sewing the sweatbands on felt and straw hats. My wife does amazing hats https://www.facebook.com/decorinahats/ for men and ladies and I am desperately trying to determine her to work less - a sewing machine as above will help a lot. Any idea where to buy it from?
Many thanks,
George

Hi George!

Great on you for helping her speed up the process! There is basically one place to get the ASM that I am aware of and it costs $3000. https://www.jwrhats.com/tooling/

Hi Ariahokas, Thank you so much for your reply. I have managed to buy a brand new 1107. Still looking for a Singer 46-100. Many thanks,
George
