Post Bed

Work that needs to wrap around the sewing point: shoes and boots, hats, gloves, structured bags and car-seat corners. The raised post lets you rotate three-dimensional pieces that would never fit flat under a normal arm.

A cylinder bed suits tubular, shallow work — cuffs, sleeves, bag gussets. The post bed adds vertical clearance for taller, more three-dimensional pieces like footwear and structured bags. Curved but shallow: cylinder. Tall or nested: post.

Shoe and boot makers and repairers, hat makers, and leather-goods shops producing structured pieces. Many models include roller feet or driven rollers so smooth leather feeds without marks.
