It is frustrating to have such a huge failure of the machine and no resolution from TechSew customer support. I've called and emailed them, and now I've lost another day of sewing time. I've heard such great things about TechSew support, but I have not experienced it yet. I'm hoping they can restore my faith in the brand! @Techsew Ron
I got rid of my techsew 5100 and bought a cobra class 4. Way better machine IMO. However, both of my machine i bought used so previous owners care and maintenance most likely made a difference with the machine. Techsew wouldn't help me at all because I didn't buy from them. Cobra on the other hand has great customer service in my experience. Both machines are made in China. Probably from the same factory.

Is there a machine you are looking for to replace this? I am in CA so not to far out of the way.

Do you have a sample belt you put through this machine you can post?

I have probably 30 bags of my own. Most of my customers I do by hand right now. So I have plenty to screw up on. If I mess up I'd just repurpose the canvas and hardware. Always a win when working with LV. Never had a loss to date thank God.

10 hours ago, kgg said:I would first suggest if you are buying a new machine and can afford the price difference over a clone buy a brand name like Juki, Alder, PFAFF. A reasonable solution I think would be a Juki LS 1341 as it will probably cover off most of your requirements except for the roller foot. If you need attachments / parts all the clones within this class of machine are based around the Juki. When you decide to sell the machine it will be easier to resell and at a higher price then that of a clone.
The PFAFF 335 probably will limit your thread selection to V92. The parts and accessories for the Alder and PFAFF tend to be manufacturer specific and expensive.
For speed control whatever machine you decide on, buy it with a servo motor. If the control is still not what you need or like buy the machine with a servo motor and a speed reducer.
I would still advise you to visit a dealer with a sample of your stuff and test ride a machine as this is an expensive out lay of cash.
Buy Once, Cry Once.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and for your insight and information. It is greatly appreciated.

Anyone with actual experience with bag construction and experience in these. So I repair Louis Vuitton bags. Still in the beginning stages and limited as I do it all by hand. It is very time consuming and getting backed up with bags. Sewing machines I am a newbie to, but trying to learn. The bags I will be working with are all canvas and leather max 8mm total thickness to be sewn. Soft vachetta leather. Main thread would be nylon/polyester #92 to #207. I need a machine to do the following.......
binding, piping, close to the edge sewing (roller foot option a plus), controlled and slow stitching, part availability/after market.
Here are the local options I have to pick from.....
Consew 277RFS (cylinder arm)
Cobra class 26 (standard model no EPS)
Pfaff 335-H3
Durkopp Adler 669 (downfall price as I would be buying new)
Durkopp Adler 888 (post machine, again price a downfall would buy new)
I currently have a techsew 5100 SE. I bought this not understanding or researching properly and it is to heavy duty for my needs. I did see the options of dumbing it down by WIZ, but am holding off on that. Have a juki 5550 that was converted to a servo motor, but it leaves marks and the foot doesnt give much room. Maybe the machines I have could work. I dont know. But what I want is to have each machine set up for specific steps. The juki can do liners, the medium machine my work horse and the techsew for I guess when ever I choose to do heavier project.

Found this for sale locally. Needs some freshening up and part replacement. Is this a good investment? It is between this and the cobra skiver, which most likely will be new and more expensive.

5 hours ago, Spyros said:What tool from Hobby Lobby? It's getting ridiculous here, I have like 5 drawers full of hardware to the brim, and still I always seem to miss something...
Just go to the leather section in hobby lobby. It is a little kit with gold and silver snaps, an anvil, and a dinky 2 inch setter. lol literally that small. It is $8.99. It works, but not a tool I enjoyed using. I returned it and bought one from tandy that has a longer post to hold onto. Double the size than the hobby lobby one. Practice first because there is a learning curve with these.
