Stitch Pony SIMPZIA Leather Stitching Pony, Table Desktop Stitching Pony Horse Clamp, Leather Sewing Pony Horse Clamp

I don't get any of the negative reviews .. It's great construction. Relatively hard wood. Good mechanics. Inexpensive! Does the job! Very flexible. I just keep in my lap without mounting it on the supplied board. Tiny wish would be a second hole in the board so it could be mounted in the center. This would allow placing the board under each leg while sitting and having the clamp in the center. Overall excellent product!

It just arrived today. I've just barely got it put together so I've not gotten any use out of it. Once I do I will update review accordingly. I will say this... I work just as hard to earn my dollar as you do yours and when I choose to buy from and support a business (regardless of the product or service they offer) I expect to receive what I'm promised in exchange for my money. While I dont think I've got unreasonable standards, I do have them and expect that what I trade my hard earned buck for to be as promised, to last, to be functional, and the company to stand by their product(s) as I do mine. Because let's face it, things and stuff happen and sometimes we get duds. So once I get to put this pony to work I will review based on those standards. Let's be honest here I chose this particular pony for 2 reasons #1 reviews and #2 the price point. Upon unboxing and putting it together it appears to be well made BUT time will tell once I'm able to put it to use. I would like to give a pat on the back to the sellers for making instructions with pictures. Although I know how to put one together, not everyone does. And it just so happened there was as extra screw and nut that had it not been for the detailed instructions/pictures I'd have chased my tail for a while until I realized it appears to have been overlooked. Many reviews I read for various items get docked stars due to not having clear and concise instructions. It comes in just 2 pieces that the buyer must attach it's really simple but not everyone has used/worked with stitching ponies before. Please note that you will need a Phillip's screw driver as well as an allen wrench that are NOT included.

This style pony is a workbench style. I clamp it to my bench with wood clamps. It is sanded smooth, that is nice. The reason only four stars is the locking bolt should be thicker. I will add a carriage bolt with washer, and wing nut. That with the current locking system should hold your project securely. The thread that came with the pony was good quality waxed thread. The two needles were also welcomed. Never can have too many hand stitching needles.

This was a good value for my first stiching pony. I've used it a few times after moving from hand stiching without one. The parts are easy to put together, quality is good for the price. Not sure why people gave it low stars for the finish, just use some high grit sand paper before you sit on it. Works good and gives a secure hold.

It works, it does what it was designed to do. That's the good part. These are just my pet peeves, the clamp was off center so the hole through the outer too low - It bugged my sense of style and function. I disassembled it and drilled out the holes, plugged them with a 1/4" dowel and redrilled the holes. Everything is straight and looking good. I also sanded everything down with some 400 and 600 grit sandpaper. Now everything is smooth and feels good in the hand. You won't have to do anything, it functions as it should from the manufacturer, but as a woodworker, I had to align everything and sand it smooth.

This has by far been the best stitching pony I've ever used. Easily adjustable for even 3 layers of 9 oz leather. Makes easy work of holding the pieces together. I really like the padded jaws for not marring tooled surfaces (a concern I had from previous experiences). Happy with this item and look forward to getting many years of use from it.

Why didn't I get one of these sooner?!? I have already stitched two projects using this and I am amazed at how much easier and faster it is to work with this acting as my 3rd hand! It came with very clear directions for assembly and was very easy to put together. The lever mechanism is wonderful for quick release and adjustments during stitching. It seems very sturdy. The wood is smooth and finished. I chose this stitching pony over other slightly less expensive models because this one came with the clamp already covered with leather. The extras are nice, too!

As someone who stitches from the couch this item is perfect to have under your leg while sitting. With this feature you could use this piece almost anywhere. The one down side is that the clamp does not have adjustable pressure. It's great for multiple or thicker pieces while treading, but thinner pieces can slip when moderate force is applied. I cannot fault it for this too harshly, it is a very simply constructed stitch pony, and for the price it is an acceptable compromise. Great for the novice who is building up their tool kit for sure.

Good quality pony but I modified it so it would rotate. Pity this feature wasn't designed in.

Quality of item . I've bought it for my Custom Leatherwork

Like use for leather

Good quality- Nice.

Lo malo fue el embalaje, llego muy golpeado. En las fotos se aprecian un golpe en la piel y otro mas en la base, son detalles que no afectan su función pero no habla bien del transportista o del sistema de empaque.
