KAYAK45 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I already posted looking for a finisher, and have'nt found it yet. BUT. I ran into, or got bit by, the above machine for stitching. Now I know a F or a G are ok. from landis. Is the L an ok machine for making boots? This one has about TEN total hours on it and still has the thread it came with from the factory! But only one needle and awl. Just looking for some info, if any is out there. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 20, 2011 You have a sole stitcher. You can now replace the soles on shoes and boots. I do believe it will sew a half inch of hard sole leather. Be sure to buy some needles and awls, if there weren't any with the machine. Also, buy a few pounds of 5 and 6 cord right-twist Irish Linen thread and some Lax or Sellari's stitching wax. If you don't have one, look for a 3 in 1, or 5 in 1 sole cutter/splitter, hand cranked, with sharp blades. You can buy good sole leather (or precut soles) from shoe repair suppliers. Look for Prime soles or bends. Stay away from saddle leather for shoe soles. You'll also need a boot jack stand with different size boot inserts.
