Pretty much what the subject line says: Can Anyone Recommend a Small Roller Foot Post-Bed Machine?  Are there any glove machines that have roller feed systems?  Looking to do some light shoe making in an apartment.

 

Thanks!

Post-bed machines aren't that common and it's unlikely too many on here (your average hobbyist type person) will have one. There is a vendor (Robin Industries) who has advertised the odd machine on here. They are new machines and he is overseas, but they appear to make some quite specialised machines, including for shoemaking.

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
