there is a local guy selling one for $300, but I don't now much about it. I can't seem to come up with any info on google either. I been looking for a Singer 111w 155 as I want to learn auto upholstery. I just came across this 111 wsv71 and was wondering if there are any differences and what would they be. Would I be able to accomplish the task just as I would with the 111w 155.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a forum search but yielded nothing.

The only thing I can find out about the 111WSV71 is that it seems to be a needle feed only machine, and I'm not sure if that is correct. For most auto upholstery you want a machine with compound feed (which is a combination of two feeding methods, usually drop feed which uses feed dogs to push the work through the machine, and needle feed which uses the needle to pull the work through the machine.) and a walking foot.

What a bummer, I really thought I was onto something good here. Thanks for your input.

Someone is going to get an awesome deal. Too far from me, but thanks anyways.
