Leatherman16 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 Hello fellow leathercrafters! My brother-in-law sent the following pictures to me. I don't know anything about this machine but I am considering purchasing it. Does this look familiar to anyone? If so please share what you might know, with me. Thank you in advance for your replies!

Uwe Report post Posted January 8, 2017 This looks a lot like a repainted Singer 31-17 to me. It's hard to tell for sure without seeing the underside hook and transport mechanism.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 8, 2017 That roller foot machine will be useful if you make decorative stitched boots, or leather vests, or chaps. It can also edge stitch medium temper belts, using #69 bonded nylon thread (possibly up to #92, depending on the nature of the shuttle mechanism). However, it may not be as useful for sewing cloth as a model that has a standard foot and multi-row feed dog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
