SPEEDWAY SW 2971 Single Needle Cylinder Bed Patcher Shoe Repair and Leather Mending Industrial Sewing Machine - Complete Setup, Table, Stand Included

The Speedway SW 2971 is the classic patcher — a single needle cylinder bed sewing machine designed specifically for shoe repair, boot mending, leather patching, and reaching into tight, awkward spaces that no other industrial machine can access. Built on the time-proven Class 29 patcher platform that has been the cobbler's workhorse for over a century, the SW 2971 is the go-to machine for any shop that repairs, mends, or alters leather footwear and goods.

The defining feature of this machine is its walking foot upper feed system — the presser foot rotates 360° to stitch in ANY direction without ever turning the workpiece. This makes the SW 2971 uniquely capable of stitching boots, shoes, gloves, hats, purses, and any tubular or awkwardly-shaped item — simply reach in with the slim 1-inch wide cylinder arm and stitch wherever needed. Adjustable presser foot pressure handles everything from delicate cloth uppers to heavy leather soles.

The SW 2971 is also a favorite among leatherworkers, saddle makers, glove repairers, hat shops, and small leather goods artisans — anyone who needs to sew on top of, into, or around objects where a flatbed or post-bed machine simply cannot reach.
