Members Srigs Posted March 12, 2008 Members Report Posted March 12, 2008 I received my 3000 about a week ago. I had a couple of challenges but I'm working through them. I will be dropping Steve a call but so far I have cut my stitching time by 80% so it was well worth it.

Members gunfighter48 Posted March 13, 2008 Members Report Posted March 13, 2008 I just bought a Consew CP206R portable flat bed machine and Dave had posted in another thread about using 135X16 needles instead of 135X17 needles for leather work. I called Artisan today and talked further with Dave about using the 135X16 Tri point needles. Even though I hadn't purchased one of their machines, Dave was willing go out of his way to help me with my needle selection!!!!!!! Customer service lives big time at Artisan. I did order some needles and thread from Artisan, and it won't be my last order, that's for sure!! I also let him know that we appreciate his help here at Leatherworker.net .

Contributing Member Regis Posted March 13, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 13, 2008 Hi John,You've got to get Sailrite's Monster II balance wheel for your Consew. Difference between night and day. ed Ed, That's not the same as my Consew CP146 and I'm not positive it will work.......but, if it does, you are very right. Sounds like you got your Monster wheel and like it toooo. Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)
Moderator Art Posted March 13, 2008 Moderator Report Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Guys, They do make a "big" wheel for their 111 product, ask them if it will fit the 206. Art Ed,That's not the same as my Consew CP146 and I'm not positive it will work.......but, if it does, you are very right. Sounds like you got your Monster wheel and like it toooo.

Sounds like you got your Monster wheel and like it toooo. Regis I thought the only difference between those two machines is that the 146 can do zig zag as well as straight stitch. I do like like this little machine. I can take it out for a few tasks and then put it away. It puts down a nice stitch. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Members Srigs Posted March 14, 2008 Members Report Posted March 14, 2008 As I thought, Steve was able to straighten me out on my new Toro 3000 in less than 5 minutes so I'm very happy and got a ton of work done tonight.

Contributing Member rdb Posted March 14, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 14, 2008 I find myself just opening the Artisan website to gaze at the 3000. I ordered mine almost 4 weeks ago, and it's getting to feel like I may never see one in person. Quote Web page Facebook
Members bcurrier Posted March 14, 2008 Members Report Posted March 14, 2008 Rest assured it will get there. Like all importers, Artisan has to juggle pre-planned shipments against both existing and new orders, meaning if new orders spike, there can be delays - and there was just a major show (Wickenburg). From what I understand, the 3000 has been a big success for them. Still, as a small company carrying a wide range of machines, they can only stock up so much. Stay in contact, Artisan is good about telling their customers exactly what the situation is. Bill Quote
