  1. Yes I’m more comfortable crying and paying for quality once. Yes I went out on a limb with the Techsew but it serves a general purpose of medium duty. Mainly leather bags. Guess I’ll be patient and research a little more before I pull the trigger if I even pull it. I appreciate everyone’s input and suggestions!
  2. Guess that’s the biggest thing I’d have to get accustomed to is the wheel location. Im still on the fence about spending this amount of money on a machine that in my mind is useful in alot of my work but have a hard time learning new tricks! ( On a different machine)
  3. I’ve considered a clone but really haven’t pursued that since I assumed the Consew would be better quality. wasn’t aware that the Consew was a clone. I’ve actually had good luck with my 4800 pro which is a clone. Maybe I need to investigate them.
  4. Been a long time since posting here but I’m back with a possible brain fart! So I’ve been into some automotive upholstery projects lately (Door Panels) and the reach on my juki 1508 NS is ok but it sure would be nice to have the extra throat depth with a long arm. The machine I’m considering is the Consew 255 RBL 25 due to being top loading with a U bobbin. I guess the only hang up in my mind is the lack of a hand wheel closer to the business end of things. Am looking for someone’s experience with this issue if it’s one and overall opinions of pros and cons? Sure love my juki!
  5. Again thanks for the help! Im not the best at figuring out the forum communication ways yet.
  6. I replied to you via craigslist posting that I had in the Asheville area but you never responded to that email? If you’re interested please contact me via a pm and I’ll give you the contact number.
  7. PRICE DROP! 1500.00
  8. Yes it is
  9. Yes it is
  10. Here’s some actual pictures of the machine I’m selling.
  11. Thanks for the help. I’ll work on pictures asap.
  12. Selling this to fund a laser engraving machine. Ive used it maybe 5 times and it works great but just don’t have as much use as I thought. im located in western North Carolina and really prefer pick up here if possible when sold. I’m looking to get $2,000.00 I can text pictures of this machine since I’m having trouble loading pictures due to size limitations complete with table and speed reducer and etc specs are… Specifications: Sewing Capacity: 3/8" Presser foot clearance: 5/8" Post-bed height: 7" Maximum stitch length: 7mm Maximum sewing speed: 2000 RPM Semi-automatic lubrication Needles: 135x17 #18 to #24 Thread Sizes: #23 to #138 Techsew SmartServo-NP Motor: 110V, 750W, 0 to 1800RPM, bright digital LED display, automatic needle up/needle down
  13. I’ve poked around a little bit with a keyword search on this subject and really haven’t had much luck. My question is… is there a setup that someone has done to pull remnants out and reduce some of the buildup on roller and inside bell? Im using the consew dcs-s4
  14. I inherited this machine from a friend who actually in my opinion got taken by someone else who charged him 800.00! for it and he needed a totally different machine anyway. I got it for free due to his frustration and lack of experience in any type of sewing. I’m kind of machine poor! Juki 1508 Techsew 4800 Techsew 860 Consew DCS-S4 I will tinker with it on occasion but no serious work of any sort.
  15. Looks like I’ll be doing this also. I appreciate the info. I’m always trying to reinvent the wheel and you saved me the trouble!
