Even with that one, I shake my head when I see how much they want for it at the full price... Anyone here do their stitching this way, or do you have your pony attached to your work table? As I said above, my main issue is the lighting. Unless the article I'm stitching is on my work station, I don't have bright enough light. They have plans for these out on the Web and in AL Stohlman books. They also have ones that clamp to a work bench. Have seen both for sale in the for sale section here. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 14, 2017 Members Report Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Mattsbagger, if I put it under my legs, the article I was sewing was in shadow. If I rested it on top of my legs, and leaned forward into my work table to brace it, I got better light, but the height was less than ideal. Planning to shorten it still further, then use a C-clamp to clamp it to my work table. Edited January 14, 2017 by Sheilajeanne Quote

Those of us who have been doing this for awhile most likely work with this type of a Stitching Pony; this is the offspring of my (much larger) Saddle Horse from the days when I did that too. The design specs for this very version are available somewhere here within the files of this forum and can also be found several other places online. Quote Richard Hardie R. P. Hardie Leather Co. R.

garypl Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 I went to Amazon yesterday using the link and was able to order the stitching pony for $22.99 w/free shipping. Will confirm when it shows up that it is the premium pony that is retailed at $99. Worst case if it was misrepresented or price changes, I can easily return it through Amazon. I was planning to make a similar stitching pony, but when I saw this deal, I figured that my time and material cost would be much more than $22.99. Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Exactly my thinking too time / cost... fingers crossed that amazon comes through with this steal of a deal! Quote
