Fire88 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Nelson Report post Posted August 29, 2017 The Singer 45 was on a treadle stand at one time. Occasionally, you will see one for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
