Thanks for the replies. So far I've been looking at the singer 31-15s, and the Consew rb206-5. I thought the singer would be a little more in my price range, as I've read on here most people are paying less than 200 for theirs. Maybe the market has changed though? The reason that has a question mark is because on Ebay they seem to be ranging 400-700 dollars. I did find a Consew locally, but the owner doesnt know if it is an rb5 or not. He's asking 800 OBO. Can anyone help identify this machine, and weigh in on whether this would be a good deal if I picked it up locally (didn't have to pay for shipping). I have (hopefully) attached some pictures of of the machine. Thanks again everyone, Dan

Hi Everyone, I'm just getting into this, and obviously the choices for sewing machines are a little overwhelming. I've tried using my Mother's sewing machine at one point but it struggled, so I figured I would need to step up and get something a little more powerful. I've read many of the threads on here about different sewing machines. It seemed like most of the questions are geared towards which machines are best for going bigger, but not many mention machines that are better for the smaller projects. It would seem to my relatively uneducated view, that a machine that can sew 3/4" of leather might not sew 1/8" leather as well. The consew 206rb5 is mentioned a lot as a good machine, as is the Cobra brand. Could anyone give me some insight on what I should be looking for? Is the consew 206rb5 a good choice for smaller projects? What about the Cobra series, or any others? Thanks in advance, Dan
