MTR Report post Posted August 2, 2010 I have a 1902 Champion Straight Needle Sole Stitching Machine that I used back in the 60's and 70's for making heavy holsters. I have sewed as much as 1-1/2" thick pieces. I will donate it freebies to any leatherworker who will come pick it up. It needs repair - I haven't used it since the late 70's. It is a foot peddle powered HEAVY piece of cast iron. I will not ship it. You will have to pick it up in Lawrenceville, GA. You will need a stout vehicle and several strong buddies. But - the price is right. Contact me at: mtriggs@mindspring.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
