These can easily be converted to 135x16 system by simply adjusting the needle bar up by about 5mm from the original position. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

The needles that came with it were ball point so I swapped needles. No doing anything to the machines I use 23 in the 16 and 17 system for my 29k. The others fit my Union Special 61300 and I’ll have to look. Crazy thing, neither will work in the other, but the both work in the patcher. Go finger. Quote

I'm going to take that as a yes. You make some cool looking stuff. You have an eye for design and you're clearly pleased with your work, but I really don't understand why you like to imply on the internet that you're actually stitching the leather through with your machine. The amount of effort you use to get that contraption to do something it's really not suited for is impressive. If you presented the steps and time it takes you to use one of these machines to put 207 size thread through holes you've already punched through the leather on an open forum, with an honest discussion about its severe limitations that several people have tried to discuss with you, I'd be more impressed. This forum has some of the most honest and generous tradespeople I've ever encountered. I don't think it's fair of you to advocate to beginners to spend their time and money on something that, at best, will need a considerable amount of skill to sew leather to a mediocre standard at roughly the overall speed of hand stitching.

Members dikman Posted January 18, 2022 Members Report Posted January 18, 2022 I'm confused. Garyak, are you using the Chinese patcher, loaded with #207, to sew a belt? That's what it sounds like you're saying. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
