Chinese Leather Patcher and Industrial Needles
veedub3 replied to RWL2's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Go to this Facebook Group and in the files section there are directions on making Needle Bar Modifications that are quick and easy that will allow you to use Industrial needles. The only tool I needed to do the modification was a jewelers file. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1646031288779869/ Karina -
I had one done by a nice guy out of Vancouver, Canada. It was for the spoke wheel from my Singer 66. He even included an adapter for the motor for proper alignment. I ordered two more but he fell ill and never got around to it. He had a Facebook page but it has since been deleted. When I am in the shop tomorrow I will be sure to take a picture of mine and post it. Karina Edit: Found a pic on my home computer of the handwheel

amtan.com is who I use and they are great. The range of colors they offer are AWESOME!! Their tannery is located in Griffin GA which is right down the road from me and I have had the privilege of going in and seeing how it is all done. Great experience. Not Croc, but I just got some Honey Glazed snake skin from them to use on a project - Gorgeous! Karina

That didn't last long, too many complaints so they went back to the old ways of no minimums. Karina

I second big Duck Canvas. Great folks to work with. Karina

Contact Bantam (the link you posted) showing him the picture and I am sure he will get you the correct part. That is where I buy all the spare parts for my patcher. Karina

Mine just arrived today! In the process of getting all the grease off, filing down the rough edges, then on to the modifications. I got mine for $112 with free shipping. My intended use is sewing tooled leather patches onto the bills of caps - something I have been doing by hand up until I get this machine up and running. If it does not work out, it won't be a huge loss, and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than those big boy machines. Karina

Need adhesive to hold leather patches on hats..
veedub3 replied to thatgriffguy's topic in Sewing Leather
Clearly missed that part. Doing too many things at once I guess, I just looked at the picture he posted and saw that it wasn't sewn and off my mind went... Karina -

veedub3 replied to thatgriffguy's topic in Sewing Leather
I sew mine on by hand, quick and easy to do. I have read on another forum where someone stated they just used contact cement and have had no problems, but I just don't trust gluing alone, which is why I sew them. I am not saying it won't work, but I am think about years down the road, adding the stitching around it just makes me feel better. Karina -
I follow 95% of those listed, but thanks for doing this anyway. I am sure it will be very helpful to others. Karina
