Moderator Wizcrafts Posted December 31, 2012 Moderator Report Posted December 31, 2012 So have you ever sewn on a Square Feed, jump foot , needle feed. Who makes it? Ken I have. My Union Lockstitch machine is square feed, jump foot and needle feed. It is now made and serviced by Campbell-Bosworth, in Yoakum, Texas.

Members Ken Nelson Posted December 31, 2012 Members Report Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) So is my Luberto's classic, I beleive a pierson 6 may be and of course all the hook and awl machines. I have always wanted to test drive a Union lock, are they much different than a Landis 3? Edited December 31, 2012 by Ken Nelson Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted December 31, 2012 Moderator Report Posted December 31, 2012 I always wanted to have a Luberto Classic, but couldn't afford it. The Union Lockstitch fell out of heaven and into my expando. But, if I could really have any machine I dreamed of, it would be a Campbell High Lift. Period.

Trox Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Never sewen on one, I guess it must be an Amerrican machine. Maybe a Luberto or something. Some of your needle and awl machine has needle feed and jumpfoot maybe. I see it would be an improvement on a regular needle feed with a jumpfoot. And nothing surprices me when it comes to the Ferdco company, I know they had a lot of patented new improvments. That was what they did, so I belive you when you tell me it has a jumpfoot. Why would I not. I only asked a question about those machines because I have never seen them. Since the person who started this topic is offline and we do not know what kind of machine he has, there is no point in discussing one of several Bull machines. Thanks and happy new year all. Tor I did not see those last three posts before I posted, I am a slow writer.

Trox Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 All those fine American machines are not available in Europe and they cost a fortune to ship. I know one Norwegian saddler who has two Union lockstitch machines. He have only good things to tell about them. He went to USA and bought them there and brought them back himself on a horse carriage. He is a Horse wagon instructor and hold classes in the US. Thank you Wiz.

Members Ken Nelson Posted December 31, 2012 Members Report Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Happy New Year Wiz. You have good tastes. I have a Luberto's classic I was trying to sell but there are times when I wonder why I would let it go. Just got another Class 4 Cobra. I would trade the Classic for a very very good Landis 3 if you know of anyone that might make that trade. Ken Edited December 31, 2012 by Ken Nelson Quote
