Swing Arm Patcher


Recommended Posts

had a call from a customer -

who asked if I had a Swing Arm Patcher?

I said what was that as been in trade a couple of years and never heard of it?

 

He said the Cobbler in the supermarket has told him that's the only machine that can put a zip into a Golf bag.,

Well as I have only got one patcher, (normal type) it's a miracle that i can do it,

If the guy working in the cabin in the supermarket does not want the work, can they just tell the truth? In the minit days we called them 'Heel Bar Turkey's - I'm now wondering what to call these guy's Lazy' gits??

The only swing arm patcher I knew of was in the old minit heel bars where space was a premium and it was on a swivel base so could be stored flat and swivelled out when in use.

Correct, just a base that swivels and allows you to 'trail' the bag below the stitcher so you can stitch it :-)

So a normal sewing machine and there's lots I have worked with wont do the job?

Swivel base is that not for making better use of space?

Lazy people use new terminology to not do these jobs might be wrong but,.
