Ok so I start with I got techsew 3850 few weeks back , I never used sewing machine before is its all new to me , this site gave lot info , so thanks to all of u that post and help people like me , guys at techsew have lot of patience and helped me a lot , I'm finally getting to the point where it looks ok , at least from my point t of view , but still have few questions . 1. The photos below is 3 layers of 3-4 oz vegetable tan cowhide I used 138 bonded nylon with 23 r needle , by the look of it tension looks good on both sides but few times it did not look it properly and I see the knot on the bottom, 2. When am I supposed to do reverse ? Needle position wise , I tried few times and it looks like shit , or is there other way to finish the stitching? Do I have e to do reverse ? Thanks in advance Guy

Thanks for replies, Reason I asked if there is a discount on this it's still a new business and I was stretching my budget , for some of you it might not be much Regardless I spoke with Ron and he was extremely helpful and I'm now owner of 3850 model it will be shipped in few days to Los Angeles , On the side note , I tryed looking online for t350 and t415 thread and I could not find any , do u guys have any sugestions ?

Thank u all for responding, is there some promo code or some discount?

Hi everyone, first i want to thank you all for all the info you guys are sharing , i learn a lot on this site , but this is my first post / question Im thinking getting TECHSEW 3850 PRO $ 2,195.00 plus shipping 300$ . I have been working on leather for couple of years now , and been doing all by hand, and i think its time to get sewing machine to help cut down production time, you can guys check out my stuff online its badguyleather its still small business, work from home but hope soon ill have some actual work space , I have never used sewing machines before , so i know its gonna be lot of learning involved. Leather I use : vegetable tan leather only min 3-4 oz to 8-9 oz usually 2-4 layers on 3-4 oz on wallets on the light weight and 15-17 oz on the top end of it ( 8-9+5-6 oz) I talked to customer service and they helped a lot , but maybe i can get more answers here what I usually do : wallets-min 4-5 oz, backpacks min 4-5 oz , motorcycle bags min 13-15 oz My questions are : 1. will this model handle on the thinner side , i know it will on heavy side, 2. how hard is to switch / adjust the tension between different applications 3. I've been told for wallets to use 92 thread with 20-21 needle 4. for motorcycle tool bags 8-9 oz +5-6 oz im using now 1mm waxed thread , will it be 277 thread with 26 needle ?? if you guys think some other machine will work better i would like to hear it, im sure im forgetting to ask more questions ,
