I used 3 cord linen in the CB3200 and it works great. Only downside is that backstitching on the reverse side looks like crap.

Ran Carriage thread through the CB3200, worked and looked great. If only it was sold in large spools.

I just purchased the carriage thread from Tandy, although I am going to attempt using it in my CB3200 tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wiz, I just purchased a CB3200 to sew leather straps onto heavy canvas backpacks. Everything I make is plastic free, so I don't use polyester thread. Any suggestions on linen thread for this machine?

Im looking at purchasing a Cowboy227, can that handle 18/3 cord linen?

Mike, great work. Im also looking at the 227 for making backpack straps. What size thread can that 227 handle?
