Or you can unravel the "knot" by hand, if it's not pulled tight yet and you can see well. Quote

What kind or type of sewing machine makes this stitch? Image is from a vintage leather Doctor style bag or suit case that I'm remaking around the existing hardware. It appears to me that the leather panels were stitched together using a unique machine...Possibly a post bed or??? Certainly some hand stitching seems to have been used but its not totally clear? A lot of these cases were made and there was likely special machines used in the manufacturing process. Anyone have information? Thank you in advance! Silverd The leather on the original case didnt respond to reconditioning and was not fit for restiching as was... so plan B became the coarse of action. Project included pulling patterns from the original panels after carefully removing them from the frame and making new from scratch. The frame was stripped and primered. The latch hardware pieces that are steel were stripped polished and heavy brass plated or polished if solid brass. I followed as closely as I could the original leather panel construction methodologies, recovered the handles and reconnected everything together with 277 Nylon and a techsew 5100SE (Jukie 441 clone) and lots of hand stitching.
