I am in Cincinnati area, looking to purchase Post Bed Machine to move beyond just painting custom sneakers and do more reconstruction / modifications of sneakers (primarily Air Jordan 1, 3, 4 and Air Force 1). Trying to keep it around or under $2k. The machines I am looking at are Cobra 5110, Artisan 4618 and Tech Sew 810. Would you recommend any of these over the other? I learn by jumping in with both feet, researching, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes and just doing. And that's what I am going to do. Any starting pointers. I have to learn it all. What needle to use. What thread to use. I appreciate any feedback or guidance.
