LewSchiller Report post Posted October 27, 2013 No affiliation - certainly not mine. There's a Thompson Mini on Shopgoodwill http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=14545997 It's here in Denver. I went and had a look - it appears to be in great condition It's in the original carton with original packing foam - has the manual and all. Not something I could use but somebody here might want it. They will ship Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geneva Report post Posted October 27, 2013 This machine is not acceptable for sewing leather. It is basically a toy. In my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregg From Keystone Sewing Report post Posted October 28, 2013 This machine is not acceptable for sewing leather. It is basically a toy. In my opinion. Ouch. I can't argue, but it's pretty good for onsite job repairs, one guy who lived in a house boat who didn't have the space for an industrial for small jobs. They do have a place in life, but yes, 100% correct, they are not to be compared to an industrial production quality machine in any way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzelle Report post Posted October 30, 2013 I recently sold a Tacsew T111 to a guy who had been (for years) making golf cart covers using a Thompson Mini walker. He had a very profitable business, used it mostly for vinyl and canvas. He said the Tacsew T111 would be a real "Upgrade" for him, but did quite a bit with the Thompson mini-walker, and used it daily for years. Can't comment myself on how well the Thompson works, never owned one myself, just sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
