rsg3 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) I got a Neel's saddlery model 441 the other day, so far i am happy with the machine. I still have to get used to using and making adjustments to it. Ryan Neel and his buddy were very nice and helpful. They took about two hours to go over setting up the machine and letting me sew with it( plus we BS'ed a bit also). Really nice guys and their prices are good too. Now my question is (if you can tell from the pictures) how much can i adjust the machine to get rid of the marks on the back side of the leather? It looks as though the leather is really being forced down into the opening in the needle plate( a holster needle plate). sorry about the pictures i am having trouble posting them Edited March 1, 2008 by rsg3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call up Ryan and ask about some feeddogless needleplates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsg3 Report post Posted March 2, 2008 It's the Model 441, i'm not sure what the model 6 is , the model 441 is very near identical to a Toro 3000 in looks and how it is equipped. I tried to post some better pictures earlier, but was unable to. I will check into the feeddogless needleplates. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The needle plates will be for either machine. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
