Moderator Wizcrafts Posted July 16, 2014 Moderator Report Posted July 16, 2014 any thoughts and opinions? Would these be a good choice for making leather knife sheaths? Thanks bruce/birdog Only if you don't care how the bottom stitches look. All Puritan stitchers are chainstitch only. There is no bobbin. Quote
Members brucegodlesky Posted July 16, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 16, 2014 Gotcha! Thanks for the quick response. There are several going up for sale at a local auction this week and I thought I better inquire. b Quote
Members earlthegoat2 Posted July 17, 2014 Members Report Posted July 17, 2014 Might still be worth picking up for the right price. As long as you can haul it. I would not mind one that could do golf bags. Quote
Members Trevor Posted July 17, 2014 Members Report Posted July 17, 2014 I owned a Puritan Golf bag stitcher for a very short time some years ago. It was a monster and took up heaps of room.I had to tie it up to the rafters so It wouldn't fall over. Huge great thing it was. The stitch on it was sadly chain so as Wiz has said be aware of this kind of stitch. The guy whom I bought it off wanted it back so I was happy when he offered me something else. The machine ended up in Fiji I think. Not everyones cup of tea so to speak. In my opinion stick with the tried and true ordinary saddle machine ie Cowboy, Artisan or the well know brands. I have a Toro 300 and its the best machine Ive ever owned (along with the Juki 563). It can sew very thick and does it beautifully. Cheers Trevor Way Down Under Quote
