autolock Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just bought a victor stitcher,never had one before very pleased with it as it stitches really well,only problem is that it's nearly run out of thread and it is using reverse twist linen thread that runs through liquid stitching wax,and prewaxed linen in shuttle .i don't really like these new never strand type threads can I still get the linen threads or will I have to change to the new type.

Gray Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Probably true Tom.........Duncan, I've got a near full cop of 7 cord reverse twist and about 1/4 tin of wax if you want it.( I owe you one anyway, You and that animal of a savage dog... ).......Also make sure you don't let it totally run out of thread. Tie your new one to the old one before it gets to late. And don't just tie a reef not in it and try and pull it through. There is a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Klazykobbler Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 guys sorry to jump in here . I'm sure I was told somewhere that the needles/awls for these machine are no longer made. is this true or has someone else started making them?? klazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autolock Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Standard have them so do colleges. I think you can only get one size now. Rather than years ago you could get different sizes. 43. Awl. And. 45. Needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 anyone who uses linen threat and wax pots has my thumbs up... its the only proper way to stitch on leather soles.
