  1. great idea, wouldn't that require me to drill some new holes for the peddles ?
  2. I just put my machine together, I decided on the PRO because of the stand. I have used a 4500 in the past and figured the same stand would be nice. However with the 3200 shorter arm it dose not seem to be the case. The peddles are in front of the cylinder arm, so sitting at this machine is very hard when you have to lean way into look at the project. Is this stand only for standing? even then its not very comfortable. Its almost like the pedals need to be at the back of the platform not right in front. any help is appreciated, Thanks
  3. Anyone have anything to share? Otherwise yes i will make my own, just seeing if anyone would like to share thank you!

  16. I have had problem after problem with the boss but its been running fine for weeks last night i replaced the bobbin as usual, and it hasnt worked since. I have been working on it all day. Its first off missing stitches, trying to drive into the previous stitch. but mostly double looping and binding bad, it only takes about 3 to 4 stitches and its locked up. i have no idea what to do anymore i feel like i have tried everything. I have so many orders to get out and ive lost a day. any help would be so helpful.
  17. Sorry if this isnt the right place to post this problem, i recently got the tippman boss i love it and its great but im having problems with the tension i have tried everything i can, i have watched all the tutorials and trouble shooting i have played with both tensions and played with the bobbin, if i sew a 4 oz veg it works fine but if i sew two 6-8oz i get this.. (im using 343 thread and a chisel 200 needle )
