525brwn: It sounds that you dislike Chinese sewing machine. Everyone has the right to express his opinion. Hope my expression would not intensify such emotion of you! If you track the history of sewing machine, even Durkopp Adler is not the first one, who built it. Like CB 441 model, the earliest machine should be Singer 45K, Adler 105/205 sourced from this design, but with many improvements. Juki TSC 441 followed with Adler 205 series, and then Chinese 441 machine. I firmly believe that in 10 years, the same story will happen in other countries, like India, Viet Nam or Africa. It’s just the trend of history, everybody could see that! Today no American Company can produce sewing machine at acceptable price. On the other side, it’s impossible to manufacture Boeing 747 airplane in China. God bless everybody have job! Anyhow, as a Chinese manufacturer, we just try to offer good machine and service, help customers to save their money. It's an honest work, I think! Please keep an open-mind!

Dear Art, You know much about Chinese sewing machine industry. GA2688-1 is similar to our CB 441. However if you check www.cowboysew.com carefully, you will find out some differences, like casting frame, flywheel, higher foot lift etc. We might be able to change the flywheel and some other parts, but we cannot change the casting frame of machine, if we get it from Highlead. For Baojia machine and SM 366-76-12-HA, you can find the difference in casting frame and shape of machine, too. Apparently we cannot buy machines from other manufacturers, and make the casting frame, machine's shape different. What do you think about it? If you want to get more information about our production, please feel free to call Ryan or write to me at info@cowboysew.com, thank you! Best wish, Bill

Dear Art , Thanks for your comments. It happened 3 years ago. Now we build leather sewing machines by ourselves, sail making machines as well! Cowboy, Artisan, Ferdco and Sewmo, all from China. Best regards, Bill

Dear Kevin, This is the great club for leather workers. However I am too busy to be here very often. As the manufacturer, it’s more important for us to create the value of our machines by actual actions, included improving quality, service and performance of machine, I think. Our dealer in Australia, Jim found your comments, and informed me. Kevin, thank you for your information. Our parts were made base on Juki TSC 441 original model, also it should be interchangeable with Artisan. If these parts could not work for your machine, please inform to our dealers directly, they will help you out! Our machine and parts might have fault, as well as other brand machine. But one thing can be sure that Cowboy offering best service in sewing machine trade. Thanks again for your information, as well as Jim. Best wish to all! Bill

Art, Please contact Ryan at 330 892 0102 or 692-1418. Surely he can show you the list of customers. Also you can go to his warehouse (in Ohio) to experience the machine personally, if you like. Kindest regards, Bill
