Tandy seems to be getting rid of their stitching ponies  for $9.99.... I didn't even know that they carried them ... here is the webpage:

I just went to it, and you both are right; it goes to my email account ...

But on that email account is the email sale that Tandy Sends me ... is the sale on a stitching pony for $9.99 and for someone starting out, it looked like such a good deal that I posted it the only way I knew how ....

They work, but the jaw depth is not huge, and there is not much clearance on the inside for anything that is not fairly flat.

Assuming it hasn't changed since I got mine the jaw depth to the screw is 4 inches. You could do a belt on it, but cartridges loops might get in the way and become a problem. I have never used mine for a cartridge belt, but I would think one could pad the jaws with thicker leather to give more of a jaw opening to clear the loops.

A holster would be difficult to do on one of these.

The price is right however !

Yes, it's fine for belts but not much else...

Hey Wadd,
Click on the link in your email, then post the link address that comes up then.

I have one of those little ones somewhere. I think I used it once for a check book cover when I first got started in this thing...
I prefer to sew without a clamp myself, but this one has nice portability possibilities for the times that I do.

Dalton,

Thanks, I did what you said and it came out fine ... and people who don't know me refuse to believe that I am a Neo-Luddite ... LOL.

But my thought for this post is that for $9.99, almost anyone could pick one of the things up, do the traditional wallet, and decide whether they needed a big one.

And in th FWIW column, I have both a stitching horse and pony ... Ace Lunger made me the pony and I bartered for the horse ... and both are exactly what I want .. and neither love nor money would make me part with them ... unless the lass was exceptionally winsome or an extravagant figure was tossed at me in cash





I also wanted to bring your attention to the tool bins in the horse ... I love them! In fact, I am thinking of a setting a pair of needlenose pliers in a holster tacked on to one of the arms ...
