Peter Darby Report post Posted June 29, 2015 Thought you might want to see an antique stitching pony that I use for sewing. I found it in an antique store about 25 years ago. from the bottom it was obviously originally a stitching horse. But that is okay, I sit the screw on my knees and it is the perfect height for sewing whether I am in a folding chair or a lounger. It has a 12" throat so I can sew about anything in it and the screw will tighten to whatever pressure you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted June 29, 2015 What a wonderful find! Half of me says you shouldn't be using that, it belongs in a museum, and the other half says it's a nice traditional tool, and you should carry on using it. On the whole though, I'm inclined to say blow the sentimentality, you must get a lot of satisfaction from using it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eglideride Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I found this one recently in an antique store also. I would like to know more about it, Looks like it was set up for production? Cam lever on the side? I haven't tried using it yet, so I don't know if it is functional. sure looks cool though...functional or not. Yours is awesome! I would use it too. well, i will have to try again on the picture upload Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I have one identical to yours eglider except it's a horse. Has the seat with it, but the same kind of lever. Peter that piece is gorgeous just from a design POV. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Meyer Report post Posted August 25, 2015 eglideride, I have a stitching clam just like the one in your photo. I tried to use it, and one of the arms immediately cracked. I guess I should have left it alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
