I am still trying to decide on a sewing machine purchase.... I need to be able to sew heavy leather dog collars, nylon dog collars and leather purses. I have sewing machine experience but not on the commercial machines. I am considering the Techsew 2700 or the 2700 Pro. Just wondering if anyone has these machines and what they think of them ?? I am wondering if it's worth the extra to go with the 2700 Pro , for the extra cost of $545.00 more ? It's a big investment to me right now, just want to make sure I get the right machine as with the tax and shipping cost it adds up quickly. Also, I have been reading about the speed reducers and am wondering if this is needed for this machine ? Thanks !

Thanks so much Bruce , appreciate it. I am not clear on what you mean by the roller not being in line with then needle, I will go watch the video again. I really like the Laser Guide feature and the flatbed attachment that this one includes. The support form the company is the most important thing to me when making a purchase and I hear their customer service is very good which means a lot.. I will watch for your creations , good luck and thanks

wow , that is Beautiful work !

Bruce I would love to hear from you after you get a chance to try the Techsew 2700 Pro as this is the machine that I have been thinking about purchasing also. It seems to have everything that I need for the work I would like to do and they seem to have great service from what I have heard so far. It's a big decision , I have been looking for some time now

Beautiful Work , so realistic looking !

Very Nice !

So Sorry to for your loss, your memories will keep you strong at this difficult time

Very Nice !

Thanks , can't wait to see more !!

Glad to hear your Enjoying your new machine , keeps us updated !!

What about a photo frame mat. Everyone can always use one of these and you could make them any size you want, 4x6 etc... The students could personalize it, whether the picture frame was going to be for their pet, grandchildren etc. They have a project that could be displayed as a conversation piece for years to come. It

I also have been asking alot of Questions about the different sewing machines on this forum. I received Great Advice from people that have been in this business and Know these machines. I too, could go get a machine that would only cost me $800. and do some jobs, but .. not the thick leather that your looking to sew. Every Brick and Mortar Store doesn't have the same service, go by the Reputation of the people that have worked with leather for years that know these machines and know who has the Service after the sale and who doesn't. I bought a $6000. Embroidery machine from a local store and they were the nicest people I could have bought from, I bought there to support the local retailer.Did they know their machine, NO, I ended up teaching them, great for them but a long learning process for me and one which you shouldn't have to go through after investing $6000.plus tax for a machine. T o sew what your looking to sew, you need a cylinder machine. If you believe you can get away with purchasing the $800 machine, take your bag or whatever is the thickest leather you will be looking to sew into the store and try it out and see how thick of leather this machine will sew, if it suits you, buy it.

Thanks so much !!

Can someone tell me how a rolled dog collar is made, type of leather etc. ? Thanks for any Info and Instructions you can offer to a newbie

I look forward to hearing your opinion on this machine after you have it set-up, thanks !! I guess you could say, I am looking for Quality, Service and little maintenance since I know I'm on my own to set it up etc, lol

Thanks for this Info, appreciate it !
