Members RVacc Posted March 15, 2023 Members Report Posted March 15, 2023 All, I am looking for a specific style of sewing machine but have had no luck finding it. I am looking for Cylinder Arm Machines with side mount bobbin that have a Roller Wheel set up instead of a walking foot. For context i am sewing 511/2 oz-6 oz leather with 135 thread. Can anyone point me in the direction of where i might find these machines. we are looking to switch over to this style from flatbed sewing machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick Quote

I can't decipher what you typed for layers and thickness per layer. The total thickness will help narrow down the right machine. For instance, if you need to sew 7/16 inch, with number T-135/V-138 or larger thread, using a roller foot cylinder arm machine, this one will meet your needs. You would just need to request that a roller foot be installed in place of the standard flat foot.

Members RVacc Posted March 15, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2023 The thickest part that will be sewn is 7.5-8mm between leather and welting. I was curious do they make machines that have a wheel inside of the assembly instead of a feed dog? or do all machines have a feed dog and the presser foot is replaced with Roller foot. The thread itself will always be 135. Quote
