Everybody knows what this is, so I'll just give you what you don't know. Bought March 2019,. Well cared for and used then til now. Comes with 10 needles, 6 bobbins, double toe and 2 centre foot presser feet and 1/4 lb of 277 thread. It's like new and works well. Reason for selling is because I've upgraded. 1400CAD which is about 1050USD. I'm in Nova Scotia, but I'll ship for free within Canada or the US.

Tandy Leather factory and Weaver Leather in Berlin, Ohio

I'm in Canada, and deal with tandy a fair amount, but they only carry double shoulders here. As for Weaver, I'd need to ship across the border, not impossible just more difficult, their bends are only up to 52 inches, I saw no sides listed.

You could overlap the lining piece. Skive the flesh side on the one piece and the hair side on the other and glue them together. Like a lap joint but with feathered edges instead of a step. Sewing the liner along the top and bottom as usual will hold it all down. I'd cut it a bit wider than the belt and then trim off the overhang to make your edges neat.

Thanks for this idea. I might give it a try.

use side leather for the belts

As I stated I can't find anything other than double shoulders. Sides would be the obvious solution. Where do I get them???

[How do I splice the suede lining on a western gun belt?]

When I line my western gunbelts I use suede, glued and sewn, I can only find a source for double shoulders and if the belt is too long I need to splice the lining. I've been doing this with a baseball stitch to hold the two pieces together until it's glued, which works good up until I need to trim the excess lining. When I trim the lining, I have to cut the threads at the end of the stitch line, which means the stitch line has no finish. It's glued down, but my concern is over time the thread may pull and the spliced edge could lift.

If anyone could suggest a better way, I'm all ears

Hi..!! I'm Chamod from Sri Lanka. I just saw your post. I have a Singer post bed machine with original table, motor and it is in good working condition. It is a machine with walking foot and it has a cutting blade that can be used if necessary.  To use the cutting blade, turn the lever under the Singer symbol to left  and turn to the right if it is not necessary.

Its model number is Singer 138B8BM and it is made in Japan. Although it is a second hand machine, it is in brand new condition as it used only a few time period. My price for the machine is about 1400 canadian dollars.

I also have 2 singer cylinder bed machines with roller foot. Model number - singer 17U242..  Head only. And it need some repair. If you want to see the images of those machines I can upload them. 

God bless you...!!!

Not interested, but thanks.

Thank you all. I'm still looking.

[Wanted sewing machine for heavy VT in Nova Scotia]

I have a small leather shop in Nova Scotia Canada. I make archery quivers and armguards, belts, holsters etc. I'm looking for a used sewing machine that will sew a few layers of 8-9 oz veg tan. It needs a walking foot or needle feed. Biggest issue is shipping, so it needs to be local or the seller needs to be able to ship.
