tailor/person with specific type of sewing machine

I'm looking for a tailor (or someone else who stitches things) that has a sewing machine with a long arm and detachable foot. I'm trying modify a backpack, and a regular sewing machine can't reach.

If you end up having no luck with tailors, you might check out a cobbler -- the shoe repair guy in the little plaza behind Starbucks is fantastic.

REI recomended The Village Cobbler in Reading, and I took my other pack there, but he did a really lousy job (the mods fell apart), and he was really annoying to talk to.

And in fact this old post did suggest a (different) shoe repair guy.
