jboy Report post Posted October 2, 2020 I have a Politype #3 with treadle stand. It will not complete a stitch. I took it to a reputable sewing machine repair shop. The technician told me it couldn’t be repaired. Too much wear, etc. he said he’s worked on this type of machine and had 30+ years experience. Everything seems to work smoothly but won’t lock the stitch. Anyone have any suggestions for a second opinion source in southern Minnesota? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 2, 2020 If you are hoping for replies to your leather sewing machine question, a photo or video of it trying to sew would be more useful than the landscape photo you posted. As beautiful as the scene is, it doesn't show the machine. A close-up of the hook as the needle begins its upstroke would be most useful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
