Hi Wildrose, Sorry about Mr. Hughes. I'm still interested in it and will make good use of it. Thanks! Chris

Hi Wildrose Okay,no problem. I just checked the shipping cost of the imprinting machine from Tandy is $80.00,but don't know where ship from. Please choose the economic way while you ship it. Thanks!

Thank you so much!That's great!

Hi, It's a Tandy imprinting machine,Item #32418-00. I'm located in Taipei,Taiwan. Do you mind shipping to Taipei? Is it okay to you that I pay via PayPal? I will charge the shipping cost,of course. Don't know if the USPS will ship it or not. By the way,I'm a serious buyer. Thanks! Chris

Hi, Thanks a lot.It really helps. By the way,stay alway from Alu hardware or press? Actually,I have no idea what I really need.I'm so frustrated because of my poor English. I'm from Taiwan and get confused about all kinds of rivets,eyelets,snap fasteners,spots and their sizes...Sometimes I really don't understand what they are used for. I want to make belts and wallets.So,I need buckles and rivets for belt.Maybe snap fasteners for wallets. Am I right? Speaking of rivet,it really drives me crazy.There're so many kinds of rivets. How many kinds of rivets do we have? There's a video about Billykirk(a brand name,they make leather goods),he punched a rivet or something with a kick press at time frame 2:05. Is that a rivet? If it is,what kind of rivet is it? If not,what's that? Here's the link:http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2009/11/05/the-scout-video-the-craftsmen-of-billykirk/ Sorry,I'm a newbie of leather,have lots of questions. Cheers Chris

Hi I need a used Standard Rivet #2 & a used Tandy imprinting machine. Anyone wants to get rid of yours? By the way,can the Standard Rivet #2 used with any kind of rivets,eyelets,grommets,etc...if have the proper dies? Thanks! Chris

Hi, Anyone wants to sell Standard Rivet #2? Can #2 be used on any rivet,eyelet,staple,stud,snap fastener,grommet if used proper dies? Thanks! Chris

Hi,I just googled this page. Do you still want to sell it. And do you ship to Taiwan via USPS? Thanks! Chris

Hi guys, I'm looking for a hand or foot press rivet tool. There're a lot of choices in markets. My favorite is the old model kick press made by National die & button mould co.,but can't find any. ( please check the attached photo 1 ) Anyone can recommend a various use of rivet tool for me and how many kind of dies/sizes should I prepare? I'd like to use it for my leather/canvas tote bag. I also want to know what stamping machine which shows as attached photo 2? Thanks! Chris

Hi Sewmun, I just found that you sell new and used sewing machines. That's great! Actually,I'm also looking for a Singer 68 class box cross pattern tacker which can stitch a 3.5cm by 2.0cm. The box cross pattern please see the attached picture. I found some 68 class but all of them don't fit my needs,they are all formed in different shape or size. It is said that 68 class can be converted to fit my needs,but needs certain cam. And it needs an experienced mechanic and costs a lot. Is it correct? Thanks Chouinardragon

Hi Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. By the way,is 269W8 a 42-stitch tacker? Based on that picture,what thread size is it used? Thanks! Chouinardragon

Hi Barra I'm located in Taiwan where it's not easy to get these industrial sewing machines. By the way,I will consider other sewing machines you mentioned. Thanks a lot. Chouinardragon

Hi guys, I just took the pictures of my backpack. There're two leathers bar tacked on both side of the zipper. The bar tack stitch is 1.6 cm long by 0.2 cm width. Please see the attached pictures. I'm wondering if the Singer 269W can do it or not? Or others can do it? Thanks! Chouinardragon

Hi Barra Thanks for the information. Additional equipment means that if Pfaff 1245 doesn't be equipped with automatic presser or tread trimmer,it can still fit my needs,right? Cheers, Chouinardragon

Hi Art & Barra, Something about subclass is written on the ( Possible models and subclasses ) of Pfaff 1245 instruction manual. I'm not quite sure if they have subclass or not. You guys may check it out if you're interested. Thank you guys. Chouinardragon

Hi Barra, Wow~ You're really good at making bags. Is your Pfaff 1245 equipped with servo motor? I just downloaded a manual of Pfaff 1245 which shows that there're some subclasses of 1245. Which 1245 subclass you recommend that would fit my needs? Or it doesn't make any difference? Thanks and sorry for taking you so much time to answer my questions. Chouinard

Hi Barra Do you think that Pfaff 1245 has the capabilities of threading size 207 thread on top and size 138 on the bobbin? By the way,I saw a Pfaff 1245 on ebay with servo motor,sells for $900. Is it a fair price? Thanks! Chouinardragon

Hi Steve, I think there's a misunderstanding of the 2 rows of stitches. What I meant is there're 2 threads of each stitch of the North Face attachment patch. Please check the attached file. Do they stitch it twice or what kind of machine they use? Thanks! Chouinardragon

Thanks a lot guys,it really helps a lot. To Cobra: What kind of double needle walking foot machine will you recommend? To Barra: I checked the Pfaff 1245's and found there're some series of it. Which Pfaff 1245 series would fit my needs? Making a the North Face day pack that I attached needs a cylinder machine? Except single and double needle walking foot machines,what else should I get? Singer 269W-1208 bar tacker or Singer 269W box cross pattern tacker? Any others? Thanks Chouinardragon

Hi guys, I'm about to buy some sewing machines to make backpack which has leather bottom and patches,just like the old the North Face teardrop day pack. I checked the leather patch of my old the North Face day back and found they are twin stitches and there are 10 stitches per inch. But there're only 8 stitches per inch of the leather bottom. Does it mean that I need 2 leather sewing machine? (My old the North Face teardrop day pack are made from nylon/rip-stop and 3mm leather) What kind of sewing machines will you command on making the leather bottom and patches of backpack? Also,does anyone who ever works for outdoor gear company? I would like to know what kind of machines are needed to make a teardrop day pack,especially cylinder sewing machine is needed or not. Thank you guys! Chouinardragon
