Archive of Thread: Putting 2 Singer LK 100 together Back

5 years ago
Has anyone else watched the answer lady's video on hooking two machines together? I have one and just bought another on eBay. I'm interested in making blankets and larger sweaters. One benefit would be that I could use both carriages at the same time. I watched a video that showed Karen Allen doing this on a metal bed machine.

Is there any reason you couldn't hook two metal bed machines together or would that be too much trouble?

I think there would be quite a bit of engineering involved to make this happen. 

I believe that when you join 2 plastic bed machines you add a section(s) in the middle of the needlebed. 

The only way to join 2 metal bed machines would be to butt them side by side, but the needles wouldn't be next to each other.  Hmmmm unless you cut it in half ... yikes!!!

In the video, they take a end off of each machine and just snap them together. I'll try and video my attempt when I get my second one.

Great!  We'd love to see your success!

Take a look at the ends of a metal bed machine.  They won't butt together, there would be a big space with no needles

Maybe there is an special extension for this machine like the LK 150 or LK 140.  The LK 150 extension is a 50 stitch insert into the middle of the machine.
