No but I am curious as to what this looks like and how it works. Looked on CR site didn't see anything.

I need to rig up something like that to sew some projects that are now hand sewn and very time consuming. I could have used a French Edge attachment on a rifle case end plug I rebuilt.

They do not seem to be very popular on this forum, I wonder if they really work?

People not using an awl and needle (awl-fed) machine would have to use a larger than usual needle, to resist flexing as it penetrates 2 layers of leather sideways. Since the presser feet would be removed, you would have to hold down the leather between stitches with your hands and help feed it. In effect, you would be darning across corners, at a 45 degree angle. I think it's doable.

Sounds good but would it really work and be consistant? Campbell offers a special foot and plate guide, and a special awl too.

I guess somebody here will have to try it and let us know.
