Gritzner Sewing Machine?

[Nick69]

Hi all,

This machine has come up ebay near me and I wondered if anyone has any knowledge about them?

I must admit its not a machine I'm familiar with but it looks interesting.

They were made for sewing shoe soles on,you might be ale to use ut on knife sheaths but there's no way to sew much else other than along the edge of something.

Needles are pretty pricey too.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds interesting, so the needles are available still?

I'll see what happens with it as I was going to venture on a couple of pairs of shoes and if it goes cheap enough it could be fun.

Yes,needles are still available for it but they sell for around $5.00 ea so you don't want to break many.

Ok thanks Bob. Lets see what happens

Hell yes! If it goes for less than 1 quid who cares about the needle price.

Even if needles were unavailable I would buy it anyway - but then I am mad.

Ok thanks Bob. Lets see what happens
