Darren Brosowski Report post Posted November 3, 2014 Has anyone ever tried one of these? If so, what, in your experience, is it capable of? http://www.leatherpatcher.com/ Properly set up the machine will sew 6mm of veg tan with #69 and 4-5mm with #138. The tripod is pretty useless so I make up a simple timber base. I also find the bobbin winder a bit iffy so I developed my own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tboyce Report post Posted November 3, 2014 Thank you for your reply. When you say 'properly set up' do you mean that the machine has been tweaked or are you referring to the selection of thread and needle size? Also, does the feeding mechanism mark up veg tan and, if so, is there a way to mitigate that?Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Adjusting the needle bar to the correct height is the most basic tweak You need to grind the worst off the foot before coating it with rubber or it will cut your leather.
