  1. I am building a saddle with a Cheyenne roll. I've got the cantle back on but one side, close to the cantle point, the leather turns into to pretty fleshy junky leather. Not raggy but not very firm...?

    I'm wondering if after I put the filler, seat, and binding on will the roll be firm enough and hold its shape?


  2. I think maybe someone can help me here. I am wanting to run linen thread through my Landis 3. I'm going to run 7 up top and no. 6 below for saddle skirts etc..I'm wondering should I get right twist or left? Does it matter? I plan on using Campbell's wax pot wax but if there is something else I would be willing to try that as well. Any help is much appreciated!


  3. Thank You for the information. Any idea what a working one might be worth?

    That is a post machine, with either a roller or walking foot mechanism. They are built to sew hats, shoe uppers and moccasins. You will be limited to using #69 nylon thread, tops. I don't recommend this type of machine for belts, or anything requiring a true straight sewing edge, as they don't have a means of attaching a normal edge guide.

    You can buy a gear reduction 300 watt, 110 volt servo motor for it from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines: 800-362-7397. Measure the belt on the existing motor, then add two inches to the replacement belt, for the servo motor, which has a 2" pulley. They also have replacement parts, needles and bobbins. Alternately, buy a 110 volt, 1/2 HP clutch motor.


  4. I recently traded for a Singer 138W102. It's on a singer table with a three phase motor. Any and all info for this machine will be greatly appreciated. Its seems to be in good shape but I don't have three phase power.

    What is it worth if it's in good working order? I assume it will be good for chink/leggins and belts etc??? Thank You guys for help.
