Do they not offer eps on the cowboy cb4500? I was thinking the cowboy cb4500 premium package was $3395 for it. Then I thought the eps upgrade was a additional $500. Maybe I'm getting confused by all the bigger sewing machines I been looking & reading about. Lol. Thanks for everyones input & knowledge.

Yeah from my reading the aluminum flatbed table is the way to go. I been trying to find & read all I can on the machines I'm interested in. Thanks appreciate your help.

Ok thanks. I went to them links & must have overlooked the website/links for purchase of the extra accessories needed. Yeah I have been reading on this site, to get the aluminum flatbed attachment just because its simpler to remove & install. I appreciate the info/knowledge. Thanks.

I'm also hoping to sew tow straps & truckers tarps & straps.

Thanks I appreciate it. So where does a person purchase these modified presser feet & throat plates. I think the cb4500 w/eps premium package, might come with some different feet & throat plates. As well as a flat table attachment, but I'm not 100% sure.

Great looking work! Looks sharp.

I guess I should have mentioned I mainly use 277 or 346 thread on my heavy projects, when I saddle stitch. I'm hoping a 346 thread will feed thru whatever machine I buy easily. I think the lightest thread I have used is 138, i personally think the heavier thread looks better on certain leather projects.

Thanks you very much. Do you reccomend just buying a cb4500 from 1 of the sponsored vendors on this site. Also where can the feed dog & narrow throat plate be bought? Or anything else a person might need? I would like to get my sewing machine & whatever might be needed at 1 or couple vendors for the machine. My biggest scare is I guess, is something wearing out prematurely or something breaks on the machine & then getting parts. As you can probably tell by my handle, I turn wrenches, so I'm mechanically inclined that if I need to make a repair I can. I was looking at the King Cobra too, but after seeing the price, I dont think I can afford it. I'm hoping I can get a nice machine w/eps for around $4500. That's my budget as of now. Thanks for your input & I'm up to hear anything else you or anybody else what's to add.

Thank you I shall call them & discuss my options. Thanks.

Thanks I appreciate your input. I kind of knew I would need more than 1 sewing machine. I was hoping I could get by with a larger machine till I can afford a smaller machine for the smaller leather projects. I would like to purchase a sewing machine that is setup & ready to go, with some required assembly. Basically a tested & setup sewing machine if possible. I'm not sure where to purchase a sewing machine with support if something wears out or I break something as a newbie trying to learn the machine. Thanks again. Any & all help is appreciated.

New member here, looking to purchase a leather sewing machine. Looking to sew, wallets, rifle slings, sheaths, holsters, among other things. Is both these machines equal in say performance, & usability & serviceability? Does 1 machine over the other offer better support in the U.S? Wheres the best place to purchase something like this? Also would like to be able to sew lighter materials with additional accessories or modifications or adjustments if possible. I've read articles about dumming down a 441, I have read about narrow throat plate & presser foots, possibly available. Can some professionals give me some insight or advice? Thanks & appreciate everything.
