Members steadybrook Posted April 27, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 27, 2013 The pictures are on Campbells web site. Do you [Ferg] have a Campbell sewing machine?? Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted April 27, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted April 27, 2013 No but I am curious as to what this looks like and how it works. Looked on CR site didn't see anything. ferg Quote

Members steadybrook Posted April 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2013 Like to find someone who is using one or has used one> Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Report Posted April 30, 2013 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. Quote
Members steadybrook Posted April 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2013 They do not seem to be very popular on this forum, I wonder if they really work? Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Report Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited April 30, 2013 by Wizcrafts Quote
Members steadybrook Posted April 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2013 Sounds good but would it really work and be consistant? Campbell offers a special foot and plate guide, and a special awl too. Quote
