the Sierra vamps and plain rounded vamps have been sold!

im hoping to be able to trade for some different tools or old machinery! Let’s talk!

Are you using matching numbered needles and awls? The Union LS I have has a different numbering system, And they instruct you to use the needle size one smaller then the ball size! The old manual I have for the Landis number three suggest using the same numbered all and needle, and using one size smaller thread in the Bobbin... Eli suggested going one needle size smaller than the awl as well

I talked to Eli today at Landis, and he suggested using the polyester thread! He said the nylon kinks too easily! That may be what you’re getting in your stitch?

What type of thread are you using? Nylon, polyester or the old school stuff? Then what type of wax? I see this nylon thread wearing parts quickly?

As far as threading the bobbin, it needs to lay so that the thread come from the bottom, then out the small slot! Now roll the shuttle assembly over, and insert thread into the small hole, then UNDER the outer spring, but OVER the black spring, back into the shuttle...

I’ve got one that supposedly was rebuilt by King, and I found paperwork (receipts from Cuba NM) which is between Albuquerque and Farmington!

I’ve got this exact item! I want to get it working again! Where are photos of the foot press?

I’ve got two or three old machines that have wax pots on them! I’m not interested in plumbing gas or electric warmers into them! I’ve bought the stuff Campbell-Randell sells, but I don’t like what happens to it after it sits for a bit... (see pictures) is there anything else out there that won’t coagulate like this stuff? I’ve even watered it down in hopes of keeping it moist...

This is the second beastie I’ve recently acquired... I’ve also got a Union Lockstitch I’m learning to use! I just thought my singers laid a pretty stitch! Well they do, but not as pretty as these! I always wanted one years ago when I had a retail saddle shop...

Yes it’s back on! I was watching to learn.... the mechanics of it! I’ll try that today! Thank you!

I haven’t quite got the Union Lockstitch figured out yet... biggest problem is when ending the stitch, is getting the thread to come out... it’s always half way around the cycle...

I like it!

Thanks for the only help recurved on this topic...

How does an “ATTACHMENT” add a needle and bobbin? Smh

Again, I asked about “attachments”, and stated I was looking for a sole stitcher... never mentioned I was looking for a double needle stitcher...

I don’t recall asking about a double needle stitcher… I wanted to know if there was an attachment on the old Landis stitcher…I See now that there’s no attachment per se, but an adjustment they can be made to do the second row

I recently found one of these, and I’m debating on whether I should try to get it running or not?

I love it!

That’s what I was looking for… The standard old-school stitcher can do it then! Will just need to adjust the guide!That’s what I was looking for… The standard old-school stitcher can do it then! Will just need to adjust the guide!

Well I was hoping to find something between my 153W103 and my monstrous 97 Dash 10!

I never heard from him?

On the downstroke

You’re spinning the work at the most crucial time when the hook is to pick up the loop! You need to spin it before the needle starts coming back up!

U From what I can see the 45K is close to it… But all I’ve seen is a 45K 76, which has no feeding? What else is out there?
