I'm looking for a decent overstitch wheel(s). I'd like to avoid buying the craftool item at tandy.

So can anyone suggest a decent source?

Gomphs are the best...but you'll have to get them on ebay or from someone who has 'em like Bob Douglas. The old Osbornes are good as well.

What spacings are you looking for?

I've been collecting old overstitch wheels (eBay, Douglas, etc - Osbornes are my favorite of the old ones) but my favorite of all is my #6 Horseshoe (Jeremiah Watt) - he makes the whole series of sizes, $55 apiece.

Thanks.

Marlon,

I was looking at primarily 6,7 and possibly 8.

Julia,

I'll save the link.

If you don't need the best, Hidecrafters has one with interchangeable wheels, It has a 5, 6, 7, & 8 and is better quality than the tandy ones... I could post a picture of one if you care to see it.

I looked on their website and saw one but it's discontinued... along with what seems like the majority of the items in the catalog.

But a picture would be great if you find the time.

We don't have any stock in the Osborne Overstitch wheels, but they are listed on the website. We can bring them in with our next order. Osborne only makes sizes 5, 6 & 7.

Here's a photo of the set from Hidecrafter's. I think this one replaced the one they have in the catalog...

I think it's a decent set, not the best, but certainly not the worst...I don't recall the price, but I do remember it being fairly inexpensive.

Hi... I stock the osbornes, (but I'm not at the store, so I don't know what we've got at the moment). I think they're about the best of what you can get outside of going to one of the expensive ones that folks have mentioned. And we have Osborne tools coming in about every week or so.

Thanks,

Kevin
