What is a Seiko patching machine???
 

what is a Seiko patching machine ??? has anyone heard of it ?? There is 1 coming up in an auction on the weekend just wondered about it as I had never heard of one before

I don't find any info for Seiko Patching machine. You might want to contact the autioneer for the model number and look that up on the Seiko site.

I'll be watching this thread for information.

I googled "patching machine" and all products that came up were for patching shoes.

Patching shoes? Maybe we dont need that one.

If you're talking about a Sashiko machine....well, it's basically a machine made Babylock that does a handstitch only. It's expensive and the front looks great and the back is IMO an unattractive chain stitch. Google it or do a search here, there have been lots of threads on it.

here is a link I found for a cobra patching machine....looks to be used for sewing on patches....LOL...

I found the auction site the OP was talking about - it definitely says "Seiko". I'd never heard of Seiko sewing machines, but they do make them - even longarms! Who knew?

thanks for that link. I found that website but didn't find that machine. probably no use for a quilter but was qurius as I had never heard of one before.
