Roger Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 there is a guy on ebay that reconditions and sells machine. he is selling one and says it will easily handle 207 thread Quote
Moderator Art Posted December 7, 2007 Moderator Report Posted December 7, 2007 Hi Roger, He is right, you can run 207 through most of the medium scale machines if they are adjusted for it and the needle bar will hold a large enough needle. Watch it though, some of those things are set-up to run like a scalded cat, which isn't necessarily what you want a leather machine to do. First Machine, new machine is best.

Moderator Art Posted December 7, 2007 Moderator Report Posted December 7, 2007 Hi Nick, Do a search (click on Search on the bar at top of page) on Artisan 3000 and you will find 4 or so pages of posts on that machine, overwhelmingly favorable. Art Well Thanks for the posts I am going to pass on the 153. I am thinking about a artisan 3000 but I will ahve to put it on layaway or something.What do you think about the artisan 3000? Nick Quote
