Hello to everyone! I am looking for input on the Cobra class 26 machine. Right now I have a Consew 227r, but find that it quite often gets "hung" up right before going over a thicker seams. I even find that the stitch length changes somewhat as if it can't pull heavier fabric through at the same rate as it would, say, a couple layers of canvas. I find myself tugging from behind to help it along. I know how to adjust feed, timing,etc.
I'm working with more leathers ( 3-4 oz.) now for bags and purses as well as heavier canvas and would like to try some 7 oz. leather as well. Spoke to Steve who was very kind, and was told it would meet my needs, but that was about it. I would Love to hear from someone who has used it, before I decide to take the plunge! LOL How does it sew going along zippers for instance? I Thank all of you for any help and information. Suzanne ) Hope you all have a terrific day as well!
