     Whether one clone or another is better has a lot to do with the dealer and their mechanic(s) and how well they are gone through, adjusted, setup and tested.

    I think its more to do with the quality control and specifications used in making the machines by the likes of Cowboy, Sailrite etc that determines the quality of the machines. the dealership may fine tune the machine to the customers demands but quality control is the main key to a good machine, it's no coincidence that many are still using Singer machines over 100 years old with many used in factory after factory before they reach the smaller companies and individuals

  2. Just got around to fitting my speed reducer and have a problem that there is not enough room on the left of the cut-out to fit the reducer but space available or the right hand side

    The speed reducer has the large wheel on the right side and small wheel on the left, and i need them switched around but not sure how to do it

    Please can anyone explain as i don't want to pull it apart and fail to put it back properly, there seems to be a cap of sorts on the far end holding it all together but no apparent way to remove it, and at the other end the opposite side to the support bracket there is what appears to be a grease cap and under that a bolt

    This is the same type of reducer

    If anyone in the UK is interested they are sold in Germany at 45 euro with 25 euro postage to UK plus import vat from info@sieck.de

  3. Hi

    Sounds like your going to busy this year just on the house

    The simple answer to most of your questions is to search YouTube for they have a great selection of videos on what you require

    As your in the states then Tandy leather, Springfield leather and a few others are a good place to start for buying online

    regarding needles you need leather point needles to sew leather, though if sewing to canvas you might get away with ball point as long as the leather is reasonably soft

    Here is a guide for needle v thread size
