CFM chuck123wapati Posted February 10, 2023 CFM Report Posted February 10, 2023 sew heres my take on this 100 dollar piece of crap after a month( mostly awaiting on needles) I'm done tinkering, with the exception of building a nice bobbin stand and a bobbin winder. i changed to a system 135x16 needles which took only about ten minutes work. it will run t135 thread with 140 /22 or 130/21 needles flawlessly on leather under 3/8" thick. That's its max thread and needle and thickness IMO that it will sew reliably without pre punching holes or any other work arounds. I will use it with that needle thread combo or t90 and size 18 or 19 needles until its little wheels fall off and love every minute of it. Thanks to everyone who responded to me each of you helped me understand this machine, thread & needle combos and above all gave me the inspiration to try it out. My scrap pile is much smaller now lol.

Doc Reaper Posted February 10, 2023 Report Posted February 10, 2023 I almost purchased that patch machine but went with the cobra instead. I don’t have access to the machines or the time to invest in making a cheap machine better. If I did have a machine shop I’d give myself all the cool things I want Quote Doc Reaper
