Members Fire88 Posted August 29, 2017 Members Report Posted August 29, 2017 Are there any older treadle or hand powered machines that can sew up to 30oz of leather? I predominately will use it for bags, belt straps and maybe the occasional holster. Quote
Uwe Posted August 29, 2017 Report Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) A Landis (some call it a "Landis 1") comes to mind: This Landis 3 has an interesting pedal drive mechanism: You can also retrofit many machines with a custom-engineered pedal drive solution: There was another thread discussing off-grid sewing options: Edited August 29, 2017 by Uwe Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members Ken Nelson Posted August 29, 2017 Members Report Posted August 29, 2017 The Singer 45 was on a treadle stand at one time. Occasionally, you will see one for sale. Quote
