Needed Now: Long Arm, Large Bobbin Patcher Head.

[Wizcrafts]

I am gearing up for a motorcycle show in August and need to get a second patcher, ASAP. I prefer a long arm, large bobbin model, but, will consider a short arm, as long as it has a large bobbin. I only want the head (no base needed) as it will be hand-wheeled around patches on vests. Singer, Claes, or Adler, in good sewing condition.

PM me via the forum if you have one you can let go of. If anybody in lower or mid-Michigan, or upper Ohio or Indiana has one I will come get it from you.

Bump to the top, Wiz does a lot for many folks here, anyone who can help, it would be good looking out for a fellow member.

Thanks Gregg. I appreciate your words and the offline assistance you have provided from time to time.

I am even beginning to think about getting a cylinder arm darning machine for use as a patcher. Gotta get something that sews in any direction, before the second week in August.

Wiz; I posted about one for sale on Kijiji in Toronto a week or so ago. It was a Singer 29 k 72 I believe, and it was a long arm selling for $ 240 cdn. Don't know if it is sold or not. Gump

Wiz, push comes to shove, I have one of those Claes knockoffs, that I use sometimes for various things. It is not a large bobbin but; if you need it, it's yours to use for the show. Just give me a PM and we can hook up. I am about 1 hr away as long as you don't come during peak traffic hours, otherwise it's a crap shoot. Your more than welcome to use it.

Thanks everybody for your replies. I finally found and bought a 29k71, two hours from home. It is a small bobbin, short arm patcher. It's the best I could find at a price I can afford.

Now, I could use a source for boxes of prewound #69 black bonded nylon bobbins. I can't seem to find any using G search.

Hey Wiz,

Landwerlen Leather Co. in Indianapolis has them in black and shades of brown. 317 636-8300

Thanks Machinehead! I just ordered a couple boxes of prewound black bobbins from them. Also got a quart of Masters contact cement I was low on.

You are entirely welcome. They are good folks and are the fourth or fifth generation to run the family business which started in 1908 so they do know a thing or two about it.
