  1. New and boxed. with 72cm table and servo Leeds UK £650 - ONO Collection only
  2. With stand and servo motor. Purchased in April this year for £1900. Unison feed machine. Includes edge binder and flat cylinder base. Open to offers - would take the right Singer 29K in part-ex View/collect from Leeds, West Yorkshire Pictures to follow
  3. Perfect - thank you for the idea
  4. I managed to try a Singer 29K and found I could use a hand crank easily. Using a vintage, manual machine like this provides quite a satisfying experience. I think I will try and find a good machine and sell my own - the idea of working with a vintage machine is very appealing Thanks for all the help everybody - what a great resource this forum is. Next stop - eBay
  5. A new friend with a Singer 29K has kindly offered to let me try his machine so I'm going over to Manchester tomorrow to try it out.
  6. Thanks - that is a good idea - I'll look into hand adapting
  7. Thank you - I'll let you know how I get on
  8. Thank you both. I have both a speed reducer and servo. My control over my hands and feet is an insurmountable issue for electronics. If only for safety, I really think I need to go manual
  9. Hi I suffer from Parkinson's and my wife & I thought that leatherworking would be excellent therapy - good call on her part :). We set up a small garden workshop but I think I got the wrong sewing machine. Looking around and talking to the UK distributors, I purchased a Cowboy 335 (Hightex7335) back in April. This is a lovely machine, but my condition limits my reaction time and even on the slowest speed I cannot keep up with it (I've sewed my thumb a couple of times :)). I have been sewing manually using an awl for the last 6 months and could do with some help here. I am thinking that a manual machine (hand-cranked?) may be a better option as that is something I can control much better. Can anybody suggest a machine please for general work and where I can purchase one - I see loads on eBay but know nothing about them. Thanks
  10. Thanks all I’m hoping to make smallish items to start with - bags wallets etc. But I’d really like to make leather jackets if I can master the skills necessary
  11. Hi I'm a retired engineer from the North of England and I'm trying to adapt to disability - so I'm keen to learn new skills.
