code3leathers Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Hello everyone, This is my first time on here and I'm in need of opinions on Sewing machines. I currently hand stitch Suspenders and Radio Holsters for Firefighters. With the way I build the holsters I think I would like to have a Shoe Patcher because of the ability to sew in different directions. But the machines that I have been able to find online only use the smaller threads. I would like to use larger thread <200. Is there anyone out there that knows of a Patcher style machine that sews the bigger thread? I know another option is to use a Cylinder Arm style machine but finding one that has a smaller diameter arm, and that sews larger thread is tough to find. I know I'll sacrifice the ability to sew 360', but that could be overcame with a design change possibly. I like the Tippman Boss, but I'm afraid the arm diameter will be to big for my Holster design. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
