      What do you mean "closed"? Shut down for good?

      Unless it's not true, a message from Steven was sent out to the IILG and other people stating that he closed down the business. Hope it's not true, but .......

      Yes, he sent it out by email instead of a Friday special.

  2. I'm starting to think this thing might be an old bag closer. It looks like it's supposed to ride on some kind of track. Everything on it turns very smoothly. The thread spools say "meyer carpet thread". Whatever it is, it seems to be extremely well made. Hope this picture works better.
  3. I have one, and I love it. I've backed 17 oz. skirting with chap leather - no problem at all. I also use it for sewing messenger bags with 346/277 on 2 layers of 7 oz veg tan. It works amazing. It's easy to use, easy to adjust. I have no complaints at all.
  4. I just picked up a Cuddy-Gardner Co. hand crank sewing machine. I assume it's a needle and awl machine, maybe similar to a Junker and Ruh but I really don't have a clue. If anybody can give me any information at all I'd be very grateful.
  5. Brenda is amazing! She's done two stamps for me and I couldn't be happier.
  6. I took the machine to our local industrial sewing place in Salt Lake City, Daines. They are really great peope and have some amazing machines. They told me everything I need to know about this machine to make it work, which it does perfectly. They did think the back stitch indicator (if that's what it is) is weird. The only thing that I'm bummed about is that they said the biggest thread the thing can handle is tex 40. I bought some from them and the machine works beautifully with it. I tried to switch to 92 and got big loops and a mess on the bottom. My question is, is there a way to get heavier thread, like 92 or 138 to work on this class machine? The guy I bought it from told me that the machine should be able to handle 207. The needle size is 16 X 257. Also, is the bobbin supposed to unwind clockwise or counter-clockwise. I know on my home machines the bobbin unwinds clockwise but on my Neels 45 it's counter-clockwise, at least that's the way I put it in the case. Any recommendations?
  7. This may be the rarest machine in the world. Nobody's been able to tell me much. The person I bought it from said the tag looks just like a Juki. Here's a pic. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.
  8. I just picked up this Tecmic and am having a hard time finding any information about it. The guy I bought it from didn't know much. Is anybody familiar with the brand or model? Is it a Juki, Pfaff, Brother, clone? It seems like a solid machine, but I'd love to find a manual or even info on needles, bobbins, oiling, threading, accessories, etc? I'm also very curious about the gauge on the front. Is it for measuring a backstitch? Any info would be greatly appreciated
  9. Got my burnisher today - beautiful work of art!
