Thank you JJN. That's a good endorsement of the 206RB. I'm glad you've found some machines you connect with. I hope to land there and the 206 May turn out to be the one.

Thank you. I think it’s high too. So the two machines are considered to be in the same class?

Hello, I’m a bit pulling my hair out wondering if I should get a Pfaff 1245 HD, or a Consew 206RB. Just the head in either situation. Obviously the Pfaff is used but is fully refurbished. The price they are asking is $1300. The Consew I guess will be right in the same area. If there is a good reason to spend up to $2K I might be able to do that as well. This machine will make leather bags, leather and waxed canvas bags, wallets and belts. I would very much appreciate help. Thank you!

Thanks for the pep talk! Bob in Toledo already settled me down but it’s great to get your encouragement. I’ll try to hang in there and I’ll definitely avail myself of the search tool.

Thank you Chrisash. Honestly I’m thinking a return may be in order here, if possible. I’d like this learning curve to be less steep. Readily available parts seems like a good step.

Thank you folks. I called Toledo and Keystone. I’ve talked to a couple of dealers and they say you can’t get them but maybe these guys will have some solutions. I’m a bit disappointed with the dealer I bought the machine from. I tried to consider all elements but these got by me. Being that they’re the professionals and I asked for a leather sewing machine I would like to have been notified of this issue. I’m beginning to realize I’m at the beginning of a steep learning curve.

I expressed that poorly. I have grooved feed dogs and walking feet, if those are the proper terms. I’m hoping to get smooth ones to keep the leather from getting marked.

Hi all, can any tell me what I need to transition my Pfaff 1245-706 to work with leather? Thank you!

Thank you, and thank you for your work here.

Hi, I’m just looking for some thoughts regarding a good servo motor to replace the clutch on the Pfaff 1245-706/05 I just picked up. Great thanks to all the wise people here who spend their time helping new comers such as myself!
