In this video I show off an amazing $115 leather stitching machine. I have hand stitched many many leather sheaths and every one takes so long! This is going to save me hours of time and grief when stitching leather. The price is crazy for the capabilities of this!! The build quality isn't great but the competing products pricing is far above this.


Sewing Machine: (please note, the price of the machine seems to be fluctuating, I will do my best to keep the link updated with the best price!) There are many on amazon that look the same, see below for a link to get one, if this one is sold out search "cobbler sewing machine" and find one that looks the same.

  • Only one problem with the video. Now I want one. And I don't even do leather work. Another great video man.

    I watched this a few weeks ago, then half a dozen others, ordered one from ebay, and had it less than a week later. It's not only a great machine, it's "a patching machine or patcher", in that the head rotates 360 degrees, you can have a sleeve or leg up the arm, needing a patch, and without turning the garment, stitch around the perimeter of the patch turning the whole stitching head, to follow the contour of the patch. I've been sewing patches on my jeans for more than fifty years, a mechanic, and this machine makes patching anything a breeze on top of the very fine stitching of leather, as this man well demonstrates. Mine worked out of the box, many need some adjusting, but I've watched dozens of videos by different folks, and pretty much everyone has something of value to add, these are a Chinese copy of an American machine patented in the 1850's or so, it can kind of look ugly, but once you get used to it you will find it a great deal.

    I got that same one last November. Never touched a sewing machine in my life before this. And now I'm producing some beautiful leather work. I made a flat bed for mine its removable for when I'm making shoes
  • Thank you for making this video! I have been looking for over a year for a leather sewing machine that wouldn't just break me. This is exactly what I need to get me over the hump
  • @allenwaters96
    Friggin amazing, that's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks
  • Bless your heart! you saved me $1000 + as I was researching leather machines and came across this video. I purchased one and mounted it as you suggested. Instructions were confusing and I had trouble opening the upper needle plate. The coiler also puzzled me until I found the video from thebusybeesews which was very helpful. Thank you for sharing this, it was extremely helpful and financially painless lol!
  • @tomn5880
    I've had mine for over a year now. I fix tents, holsters, stitching in shoes etc. Functions flawlessly.
  • @hohohaha999
    This is actually called a patcher, or a boot patcher, because the feed head can rotate 360 degrees to allow sewing a circle (or square) without rotating the workpiece, not something demonstrated in the video. These don't feed very well, you can see that there's no lower feed dogs, just gripper teeth under the presser foot, that's to make the bed/bar small enough to fit into the toe of a boot
  • @Road_Rash
    I've needed one of these for YEARS!!! Thank you!!! That's worth a subscribe right there!
  • @ScottRedstone
    I didn’t know such things existed. I ordered one this afternoon. Perfect addition to my laser cutter. A whole list of leather items can now be done.
  • @simplyrise5217
    I got interested in leathercraft only 2 weeks ago. Now I need this simple-functional machine. I love the manual setup. No worries off-the-grid and God bless less tech. Thanks bro👍👍👍
  • Yup, me too! Lifetime sewer & had no idea this even existed until some middle of the night random viewing & now I want one of these too. Really liked the brevity, on point focus, & clarity of your video. Wish all You-tubers were the same.
  • I've got one coming in a few days, and I'm stoked. I have chronic hand issues, and as much as I love leather craft, hand stitching takes me forever and is incredibly hard on my hands. It's great to see how well it works with a little extra work put into the machine.
  • I just found about this amazing machine. Thank you for taking the time and energy to share this. I know it’s been 4 years but it is still relevant today.
  • @tanyas.3812
    This is amazing, now I can work leather even with extreme arthritis in my hands! Thanks so much!
  • @littlefatjew
    I bought two of them 20 years ago. I worked at a leather shop and still have mine. Great find my friend. Never give it up or sell it. Sewing Denim or Canvas, it's the greatest. Shalom. TAB
  • @ColtSievers1000
    Love the solid sound of it it sounds like a good machine that will last for ever.
  • @trisight
    Thank you so much for this! I've been saving up to buy the $1600 model and this looks like it does exactly what I need it to do. I've been hand stitching and some of these projects get pretty big.
