Chinese patcher Machine modification

What type of stand do you have it mounted to?

I used a Harbor Freight Bench Grinder stand. Inexpensive and very stabile stand for the patcher.

 

I had the original patcher that was over a 100 years old back then. I was told it was a sail patcher, used by the Chinese to repair junk sails. Had several of those Chinese dragon decals they like so much on it. I used it when making cases to help mate the bodies. Like the Mason Shriner Fez hat case I show below. I used a 5-inch wide piece to henge the top and to mate the body. That machine's long narrow throat same me many hours from hand stitching.
