    OP hasn't been around since July 2019. So I am archiving this thread.

    There is no such machine that does saddle stitch. It's by hand only. Almost all sewing machines use the so called lock stitch method. Specialized machines such as a serger use other methods.

    @RichardB You realize that this thread is from 2010. The OP hasn't been on this site since May 2016. @dbusarow If you are still around, you could have a sale here.

    Comments were political Dwight, otherwise I would not have hidden them. If they want to be political in nature about Biden, they can post in the section that was specifically set up for that. Biden had nothing to do with the OP!

    On one photo, I could see that it appeared to have been shaped and sharpened. The rest I really couldn't see well enough to pass judgment on them. They would work as well as some I have if they were sharpened, and maybe easier to maintain.

    Look like they were being used as edge bevelers

    Has to be something wrong with your browser or some privacy settings in your system. I have no idea what it is.

    For now, it is in the best place until a different forum is set up for domestics, possible some day..

    Take a look at paring machines. I built a similar device and have had fairly good luck with it, but the Scharffix should be a good product. I see a few simple clones without all the adjustments, some Chinese built that don't work (I tried it, wasted my money!). Do a google search for the Scharffix and you will find a few sellers.

    Yes, can't make them fit here, so use YouTube or other video sharing site. Best we can do for videos.

    We used a pattern for a pyjama top (large) and made it longer when making the coat. So yes, lots of options to get or make patterns up.

    Also do searches for leather supplies and applicable info using the term "garment leather". Many years ago I made a long coat using glove leather. It is thin, stretchy somewhat, so drapes nicely. Had a lot of help from my Mom. Getting the sleeve shoulder seam was the hardest part to do. Tandy has a few garment patterns.

    If the leather is thick enough, you can split the leather so you have 2 layers and hide the ends inside. Again, you will need lots of practice to make this work. I try to get towards 1" of overlap. I don't think 1/4" provides enough surface to make a good strong splice.

    Done. Note that the edit button is only available for a short period of time. Don't know how long it is, but don't depend on it being there more than an hour
