Members isaac45isaac Posted June 12 Members Report Posted June 12 (edited) Hi Everyone, Do you guys know if this machine is suitable for leather work? I havent been able to find too much info on it. It looks like it might be but I'm not sure. Consew MA2457R-A1 MA2457R-A1 Edited June 12 by isaac45isaac Quote

AlZilla Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 Here's a link to a parts list: https://consew.com/Files/112347/PartsBooks/2457R-1A.pdf It shows optional cams for funky stitches, so if doubt it's heavy enough for the kind of leather we sew around these parts.

Members dikman Posted June 12 Members Report Posted June 12 Your google-fu is strong, Al, when I searched the Consew site I got zip! My take from looking through the parts list is that it's a high speed garment machine, so not really suitable for leather.

From the information I was able to find it is a zig zag drop feed machine made for fabric.

Members isaac45isaac Posted June 13 Author Members Report Posted June 13 Damn well thats a bummer. I thought I got a good deal on a machine. Thank you for your responses. Quote
Members dikman Posted June 13 Members Report Posted June 13 At least you had the foresight to ask. While having a straight-stitch machine can be useful at times I reckon having all those fancy stitches is just adding a level of unnecessary complexity (just my feelings). Keep looking, in the meantime have you read the sticky about machines for sewing leather? Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members Constabulary Posted June 13 Members Report Posted June 13 (edited) I would like to buy that sucker but wrong side of the pond - too bad. That basically is a cylinder arm version of the singer 457G / 457U I´d say. And going back in history I´d guess it comes from a Singer 107w50 - kind of and I would guess the two share some accessories.
