Title: Post Bed sewing machine
Post by: presspressmerch on March 20, 2019, 06:16:29 AM

New to the hunt and still doing research on brands/models.  Looking for an industrial post bed sewing machine.

If you have one collecting dust let me know.

Damn I was going to post this as well. Good luck, they seem hard to come by used. I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger on one new soon.

We bought ours from http://www.atlaslevy.com/ (http://www.atlaslevy.com/) Atlas Levy. It was about $1k delivered.

Not sure if I'd say easier, but different.

We use a PFAFF 571 roller foot with auto trimmer & auto backtacking.
99% of the patches hats are 6 panel structured Richardsons & Pacifics. We hot glue them first otherwise they crinkle and distort as you sew them.
