Moderator Wizcrafts Posted July 26, 2016 Moderator Report Posted July 26, 2016 That machine's description and the photo remind me of a McKay chainstitch sole stitcher. You sew with the bottom up on a McKay, which forms a chainstitch on the inside of the shoe. That stitching would then be hidden by a glued on insole.

Members Darren Brosowski Posted August 7, 2016 Members Report Posted August 7, 2016 The original machine in this thread reminds me more of a carpet sewing machine than anything else but the fact that it obviously clamps to a bench ruins that theory Quote
Members vicw Posted September 17, 2016 Members Report Posted September 17, 2016 the machine that mikesc has posted a picture of is similar to two advertised in the UK earlier this year as "Blake Insole Stitchers" One appeared to be manually operated the other also had a motor and belt drive. Quote
Members AngieNZ Posted May 30, 2017 Members Report Posted May 30, 2017 I have just purchased a machine like in original post at top . Any one have a close up of how to thread On 25/07/2016 at 7:12 AM, Wizcrafts said: If that machine can sew along the edge of a sole, or a narrow edge of a shaped project, with heavy thread, I'll take it. Can you photograph threading Quote

Members jimi Posted May 30, 2017 Members Report Posted May 30, 2017 http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/121634935128 Here are some close up´s of the same machine i think? they call it a leather sewing machine here, but i still reckon it is for sewing carpets?? Quote
mikesc Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) They want nearly $5000.00 ( or slightly over $5,000.00 inc shipping ) for it ! My mother used to talk of a machine that she had when she was small, "it was for catching young ducks"..this could be such a one:) Edited May 30, 2017 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..
