Input On A Machine

Recommended Posts

hi, I've been doing lots of reading and research here but have not seen much about post machines for sewing leather.

I have a possibility of purchasing a Consew 329

I'm looking to sew leather bags and maybe 1 or 2 car interior projects. I'm not sure by oz what you would call the leather I'll be sewing but I'd call it medium weight, not saddle leather.

Any input on this particular machine is appreciated.

thx

Not sure a post bed twin needle is what you need. A cylinder bed that you can build a flat bed for is probably a better option. Usually twin needles are only used in very specific circumstances and if you don't need it then all you have done is increased the complication of the machine.

there are a couple things I could see using the double needle for but....

as I understand it, I could work with only 1 needle, correct?

also, I plan on makin a table so it will function as a flatbed....

I have not had much luck finding a cylinder arm that would be good fit for my projects. Open to hearing from anyone that has a machine that would be a good fit for my project located in the New England area so pick up is possible :)... my price range is upto $750 for a machine.

anyone have a ball park for what is a good price for this Consew 329?

thx

just wanted to add I had one other machine I located nearby Singer 78-3, only thing is seems to have minimal maintenance, so not sure it won't need service. Based on reading here it would do the job, but lacks the cylinder option.... anyone's comparison or review for these machines is appreciated
