LearningLeather

Thanks everyone! Tom is right, I'm in Gainesville, home of University of Florida gators. Didn't realize this forum was world wide. I think I will go with the Cowboy. One of my bag making friends who has the AT335 is having tension issues from using thread thicker than 90. There's no cylinder arm machines anywhere in N Fl, maybe in Miami, but that's too far. I think I'll order from Toledo Sewing in Ohio. Another friend has the Cowboy and her stitching is beautiful. She got her's from Bob Kovar at Toledo.

I need a cylinder arm for sewing leather handbags and am debating between Atlas Levy's AT335 which is a Pfaff clone, and a Cowboy CB227R. The Cowboy costs $400 more and I'm wondering if it's that much better.
