Got this machine quite some time ago and couldn't get it to work properly. Didn't spend too much time figuring it out because applying patches to jackets was absolute last on my list and a real PIA. Got a little inspiration lately to give this a shot once again. Looks like it was made for the job but all I could find is that it was used in barber shops to mend towels? Seems a little more special purpose than that. The manual says to use left twist thread in the bobbin and top. Just thought I'd post in case some of you hat guys have seen this one in action. Also can't find needles for it 177X1 in any of the sizes, please inform if you know where I could get them.
