Hard to believe any info nowadays. Did the bleed dry out and changed the color, or the other side kept having that oily patch?

    I am on the fence about the roller foot post bed clone as you have or a walking foot post bed. Have there been times this post bed had limited you when a walking foot post may have been handy. Salesmen say post beds with roller feet aren’t really designed for heavy stuff especially veg tanned. It seems these top and bottom feed are more popular than the triple feed post beds. Thanks in advance

    • @harryrogers

      Hi this set up is ideal for shoe uppers as the top and bottom feed give a very good transit. I did have a walking foot post bed, but for shoe work I personally found the walking foot was more difficult to guide. This machine in the video is not suited to heavy veg tan in my opinion its great for shoe uppers and wallets , but if you are sewing heavier veg tan leathers for strong bags etc I would be looking to the cylinder arm machines like in my bag making video.

    I wouldn't have thought of cutting down the table. For my big Juki Industrial table, I set a domestic machine on the left side of the table getting double use out of it. When I need more work surface for a big project, I move the other machine. I have one of my more pretty vintage machines in a cabinet that I moved to the living room and it doubles as a desk. I think I am now totally out of space until my husband builds me a workshop.

  • @lloydcallaway789
    @lloydcallaway789 28 днів тому

    I find that the system works better if you secure the leather to the work surface using a piece of double sided tape. Because if the leather moves you will lose your cutting line and it’s virtually impossible to get it back. Also be sure the blade is set deep enough to cut all the way through the leather; it’s best to make several passes with the blade rather than trying to get a full thickness cut with one pass.
