I am looking for a long arm flatbed sewing machine for sewing Blankets and such!!! Willing to travel for the right machine at the right price!!! If it dont work or is a basket case is fine!!! I can fix it if it needs TLC or more!!! Lemme Know!!!

If you are just going to use the saddle for display, Yes use saddle soap and a mild brush and hot water on a rag for cleaning ,then let it dry overnight at least. Then I would reccomend Barge rubber cement for attaching pieces back together. Barge should be able to handle any glueing that needs to be done and still stay flexable. (Weaver leather should have barge cement) Then use a good harness or Neatsfoot oil warmed up to 100 - 120 degrees (just like hot dish water) then put on not too much but it will penetrate the leather better with a rag or soft paint brush then take a dry rag and remove excess. Good luck. I have done this with old military saddles and old barn finds before and it will produce good results!! akakesler- Stitches of Old Tymes

How much would you sell your machine for???
