Hockeymender Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Sounds like the above mentioned machine with the table top attachment may be the answer to your query. It allows for a great amount of function, all in one machine. Quote Regards, Joe Esposito www.hockeymenders.com instragram: @hockeymenders.com
Techsew Ron Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 I spoke with a woman the other day who used to work in a glove manufacturing plant and, surprisingly, she said they used flat-bed walking-foot machines. I'm still leaning toward a cylinder machine, but I'm wondering if it's possible to put a flat-bed attachment (I don't even know if such a thing exists) on a cylinder or post-bed machine? Or has anybody fabricated such a piece? Yeah, hopefully the Rangers can even things out tomorrow... Most equipment managers have a patching machine (ie. Techsew 2900 / 2900L ) in their repair shop for fixing tears in shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin guards and especially in glove palms, they're great because they have very narrow cylinder beds for sewing into tight areas in the glove. These can be set up on a table with motor and speed reducer to control stitching speed, or can be manually operated with machine's hand wheel. The next step up would be a cylinder walking foot machine which will allow you to sew a bit thicker (up to about 3/8"), preferably with a narrow cylinder bed.
