Hello Can anyone explain why a top and bottom feed skiver is better than a bottom feed only? Can a top and bottom feed skiver do everything that a bottom feed only skiver can do...but more? If a Leatherworker.net Member is skiving mostly higher temper Herman Oak 3-4oz (1-2mm) leather...can this work be done on a Top and Bottom Feed skiver or should this individual use a bottom feed only skiver. There is not one sewing machine that does everything...Is this also true for Skiving machines? Do I need both? Your assistance to the questions above will assist me in deciding on which machine to purchase and will ultimately determine the success of my business and the health of my sanity! Many Thanks in advance. Silverd

I've decided to bite the bullet and get a sewing machine, but I need some guidance. I don't picture getting into bags very often so a cylinder arm isn't needed...yet. I was looking at sailrite for a bit, but keep getting directed to Cobra. My question is can a class 20 cleanly stitch thin pieces of veg tan, say 3-4oz? And same question for the 18. Also if you have any recommendations on other models to look at please let me know. Thank you.

Hi folks! My husband and I have been long time Juki users and wanted to venture out into Cobra land when we were needing a 2nd machine. We bit the bullet and got a Cobra Class 20 because everyone just raves about them! But apparently we are set in our ways, and the Juki fits our production style better. (lots of thread changes, easy to swap out bobbin cases, my husband and I just like the work flow better.) So now we have this barely used, Cobra Class 20 in our studio sitting unused. We've had it for less than a month, and have only used it a handful of times. (4? 5?) We realized we weren't going to love it after the first few tries, and immediately sourced a Juki instead. It's in excellent shape. Almost new, and the dust hasn't even settled yet. No lint or fuzz or built up. It comes with everything it arrived with, thread tree, extra bobbins, tool set, drawer, LED light. We're eating the freight costs, but we'd like to get $2200 for it. Paid close to $2700 with freight. We're about 45 min north of Detroit, up by Milford. Non smoking and pet free studio. We'd really love to see it go to a good place and get the use it deserves! We changed out the presser foot, which is what's shown in the pics, but it will come with the original. From the manufacturer's listing - The Cobra Class 20 Heavy Duty flatbed industrial stitcher is one of the most versatile machines on the market today! The Class 20 has a triple feed mechanism similar to the Class 4 allowing you to sew up to a full 1/2 inch of veg leather and handles thread sizes from 46 up to 207. Perfect for sewing chaps, bags and wallets. Servo motor and speed reducer for extra torque. Includes 28 LED work light, needles, thread, thread stand, extra bobbins and tool kit. I also posted on FB marketplace, for transparency. Forgive me if I left anything out. I haven't been on forums in quite some time Thanks for looking!

I may have posted this here when I finished it some time ago. Sorry about that, but this is about it coming back too visit this weekend with the owner. I’ve been making a few things here and there and no matter how long I’ve been doing this, I never ever get bored or tired of the craft Because of stuff like this. Old dude was out and about early on a beautiful Sunday grinning ear to ear and retelling all compliments he had gotten at the gun show. It’s so cool to know people think you have some magical power and consider something you made a valuable possession. When I’m long gone from here, I’ll have done my job and left people wondering… who in the heck made this….

Finally got me a rattlesnake. From Nevada of all places. Here I am in Deep South Texas surrounded by scrub brush, and can’t find a rattlesnake to save my life. The diamondbacks online have really gotten pricey, in 1996 they were 75$, now a decent skin is 200+. I’ve worked with every permitted skin on the planet, but rattlesnake is Handsdown the coolest I think.

I’m new here, I hope I’m in the right place. I have a small leather patch hat company and saw this in many videos and it seemed like a dream. Upon arrival the class 26 machine worked smoother than imagined but this machine is not for me. Due to some prior major injuries I can’t bare to sit at the machine longer than 30-45 mins. This machine might have 1-2 hours of run time and in perfect new order. *Pick up only* Upstate, SC Asking $2,100 This is $300 off retail and you save on the ridiculous $400 shipping from the manufacturer.

A buddy wanted a sheath to take on vacation. I didn’t know this till the day he was leaving. I had 5 hours, start to finish. Had to make the lace too. Wasn’t much dry time allowed for anything, but it got done and he left for Mexico to surf.

Mr. Peanut and Kermit the frog both knew the risk, but they went there anyway..

I am new to using sewing machines and have an issue with corners not being held tight. I'm assuming it's a tension issue possibly but I'm not sure. I figured someone here will know exactly what the problem is. I'm using a Cobra Class 26 cylinder arm machine, 138 thread, 24 needle.

No positioning system. $2,800 •Weaver Master tool hand operated strap cutter $1,750 All machines are new and have never been used. I bought them a few years ago with the intention of making lots of things but that did not happen and I had to move them into a storage unit a couple of months ago. I also have a Cobra Mp Burnisher with stand that is for sale $475 and a Master tool EZ edge strap beveler $300. These two pieces I would like to sell with a sewing machine as a set. I tested them so I cannot say they are new. Everything is available for local pick up in Los Angeles/Orange County. Thank you so much for looking

Hello! I purchased a leather sewing machine about 4 years ago and it came with a brand new COBRA TN-400 servo motor. I haven't used the machine basically since i purchased it but now I cannot get the motor to turn, no matter what I try. All the info I have is how to change the speed and rotation of the motor The motor will not spin on any of the settings No wires are loose inside the motor Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Built my first backpack. Completely stitched on a Ta-king 29-18. With American alligator from the man I’ve looked up to for the last 30 years, Mr. John Fong. Pretty cool to build something with exotics that I got from the man I followed long before social media, every two months hoping he had a piece in the LC&SJ. I read everything he wrote, and put it to work. It’s paid off for me for the last 30 years, and keeps my lead times long. Big thanks for the skills you lernt me Mr. Fong, see you in San Fran soon…

Picked up a cobra 29-18 from LMC. Couldn’t be happier with the machine or the service throughout the sale. Delivered without a scratch…
-
looking for any hands on experience with the cobra class 29-18. I know of no one who’s purchased one. For what it cost, it should come with a real live cobra too.
