    I,m also looking for a machine for sewing shoes, amachine called a patcher made by singer.

    But it looks like old leatherwork machines are fairly thin on the ground. And I notice that new ones are a small fortune. I,ve been told that the old machines were used as a valuable source of scrap, being heavy cast iron. Thats why there is such a shortage.

    I,m looking over the net myself, so if I find anything that night suit you, I,ll post it here.

    happy hunting,
