Hi I have an opportunity to look at a Consew 206 rb 1 for a listing price of $750 the current owner has had it for seven years and is the second owner. The motor is a clutch motor not a servo motor. Is this a good deal? I want to use the machine for belts, wallets and purses. thanks

Hello, I have been making knife sheaths sewing through three layers of 8oz leather. Using a vergez Blanchard 2.45 mm wide diamond awl, 002 John James needles and 0.8 ritza tiger thread. It is so tough to pull the needles through the leather, is the awl size to small? thanks in advance leather2

Sorry, I’ll planing to make knife sheaths out of 8oz veg tan. I’m planing to use the awl you recommended which is 2mm at the widest point. Not sure what size of waxed thread I will use(doesn’t depend on the needle size?). Thanks again for all your help

Thank you mike02130, going back to what you said on needles, how do I choose correct thread for the needle size? Thanks again.

Thank you.

Thank you! I am curious to know why you would skip a stitching wheel, and go for stitching chisels. From what I have seen stitching wheels are used for long stitch seams as well as curves, Am I missing something? leather2
