Hey Bob! I tried calling but apparently you take a day off from time to time.
Navigating is hard from my phone, I've tried to snoop the pages listed at the top but with bad eyesight and even worse internet signal I'm coming up with nothing. Where would be the best place to find 277 thread in hot pink? I also need to order some black. Looks like it would be a giant pain in the rear to dye enough to sew 20 feet or so but maybe better than having a big spool laying around unused for 2 years. Will most thread take a dye??
Crazy newb question- I appreciate your time!!

One more thing- is there a guide available for the 118? To help stitch straight lines, that is.

On the bottom of the page there's something that looks like a magnifying glass ,click on it & the page gets larger.

So what came with the CB-3500 is a roller guide? They are generally called a seam guide? I love how the one on my big machine swivels away so I can do perpendicular stitches and then come back to the exact distance on the other side.
Armed with new information, I will have to dig around and find a similar one that swings away for my 118. So much better to watch the fingers are safe than matching up a tiny line!!

I have been practicing a great deal
with my new CB-3500 and I have to say I LOVE ❤️ this machine!!! I cannot thank you enough for your guidance in purchasing it, Bob!
Between 2+ jobs and grad school
as well as a good case of strep, I just got around to setting up my Consew 118 head with a refurbished table and the servo motor I purchased at the same time. Also a great machine and LOVE the servo and parts for the 118 to get it going. Too sweet!!
I attached a pic of one of the collars I made yesterday. My pictures are too big so I can only post one but rolled leather collars are a breeze with the CB-3500! Such a joy.
Thank you again for your advice and exceptional service!!!

Finally got the file size down (my computer skills are way low) so here is one of the rolled leather collars I made a few days ago.
Again, thanks so much for your guidance re the CB-3500. This machine rocks!!!

The strap came out real nice too,are those hard to sew?

Not really. I don't know the 'right' way to do it, I just moisten the leather and sew really slow making sure everything is really tight. I cannot say enough good about the guide either. How did I make it to almost 50 without that in my life?!?!
Thanks for the compliment. The white was my first attempt at it. All of the things I've done so far are from looking at pictures or an item in hand and making my best guess. I have had SO much fun with this machine!!
Attached are today's big accomplishments.
