News From Artisan

[Artisan Dave]

Open Letter to All Leatherworker. Net Members.

from Artisan Sewing Machines.

I am pleased to announce some very special pricing on our Artisan TORO 3000 & 4000 R models.

As of today, the Artisan Toro 3000 will be offered at a remarkable price of $1650.00 complete with a left toe presser foot, a right toe presser foot and a double toe presser foot. Our Deluxe Roller Edge Guide will also be included. As always, there are extra bobbins, extra needles, and some thread to get you going. Needless to say, our Limited Lifetime Warranty and Lifetime Customer Support is a part of every Artisan investment.

The Artisan TORO 4000 R will be offered at $2750.00 with the same great accessories and service as the TORO 3000.

For those of you wondering why we might be doing this, the answer is quite simple.

We will be introducing two brand new Second Generation models very shortly. These have been in the design and testing stages for the past few months and will be available once we have sold our existing stock of the current models of TORO 3000’s and 4000’s.

As some of you may realize, when ordering castings from the foundry, in the interest of keeping prices affordable to you, our customer, we must order a minimum of 400 of each model at a time.

Once we have depleted the balance of our current models, we will introduce our New Artisan Second Generation machines to the general public.

We thought you would like to know.

does this come with the usual stand and motor or is this just the head? and how do I get one at this price because the websit still says 2350

[Artisan Dave]

Yes, it is absolutely complete with Pedestal Stand, DC Servo motor - absolutely everything!

Cheers

Since I couldn't afford the other price, at over $2k, I decided to spend tax return $$ on other things I could use......now there's not enough left.

Does that Toro 3000 have reverse?

Dah....sorry found my answer just had to read a little further...thanks for not throwing me out for dumb ????

Does that Toro 3000 have reverse?

Yes

I feel your pain, man! I've been sort of drooling over them myself. If they had a layaway program, I'd gladly start making payments on a new machine. Oh well, their loss.

Try and cheer up, and maybe use some of that tax return $$$ and buy yourself a 6-pack to drown your sorrows with.

Make it Corona with a slice of lime, and have one or two many for me, too

[TwinOaks]

Hilly, you're making it worse......since I got zapped hard a few years ago, I can't handle alcohol anymore.....as in my body doesn't process it very well. A single hard lemonade and I'm good for about an hour and a half before I pass out.

Yeah, cheap date, but it makes drowning sorrows so NOT fun anymore.

[jwwright]

Well Artisan folks..............I guess my 3000 machine that I paid your full price for less than a year ago has now substantially gone down in value, eh? I wonder how one of my customers would feel if they ordered a saddle from me, then found out 9 months later than someone else purchased an identical saddle from me for $1000 less money?........they probably wouldn't feel very good about their deal with me.

I have used my machine a bunch, and I am pleased with it.

Respectfully, JW Wright

I bought mine before the increase over 2k, but it was still more money then they are offering it now (several hundred).

Now I wonder what changes have been made to the new product, and are our older ones upgradeable...I hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they can offer a deal to us "TEST" customers of the past one/two years, like a special half off deal on holster/stirrup plates or something...we/I didn't get all those presser feet, etc when we/I bought.
