HOW TO USE THE SPEEDY STITCHER (REVISITED)

I bought one of the Speedy Stitchers many years ago, and the type of leather work and other circumstances....

I can't say that I was a success at some particular projects with this particular device....

I think that the IDEAS were right but the fabrication tools and assembly techniques were needed - to go for thonging and not stitching....

But having just scored a most excellent utility knife and a couple of decent pocket knives, I'd like to make up some leather holsters for them to keep the dust out.

Hence the need for SOME short distance leather stitching, on what amounts to a reasonably heavy "hand" sewing machine.

Thus another Speedy Stitcher has been purchased to take the place of the long lost artifact.

As a footnote to history - because motorcycle crashes of the mostly sliding along the road types, tended to rub away leather and the stitching, which enabled the seams to come undone, I worked out how to make the leather grease free - to make it DRY and "untreated" with dubbin etc., and to use a HEAVY cotton thread - which is immune to SOLVENTS, and to WET STITCH the seams with contact adhesive coated thread, which bonded to the leather, it bonded to it's self and the stitches remained glued together and in the leather, so the partly damanged seams remained stitched up.

This was a great boon for all man kind.

Indeedy do.
