News From Artisan

[skipj]

Didn't Aritsan say that the discounted price was only good at the Wickenburg show? I assume that means for purchases at the show only. In my mind that differs from what the original post said.

Someone said that all the machines were made in 3 (?) factories in the far east, if I recall correctly. Do they really differ?

I bought an Artisan and can't say I've had any problems which weren't caused by my lack of knowledge of leather machines, and a few typos in the manual: re thread size combos that can be used. Steve set me straight on that.

It would be nice if a sewing machine course could be given at one of the shows, but the sponsors don't want to favor any of their advertisers.

Off the subject, I wonder what the two Leather Crafter shows are scheduled so close together? Perhaps because it works. Someone I spoke to at Kings in Sheridan felt it was too early in the spring for reliable weather in the region.

Would be nice to hear one way or the other if this is a legitimate deal, and if so how to get it locked down, Artisan is saying no, and Ive tried everyday since Dave posted it to get in touch with him but no luck, feel kinda foolish after rushing out and selling a brand new tig welder in order to get the funds for a once in a lifetime deal that doesnt seem to be happening.

I agree I would like to know if this is a legit deal. I have called as well and they act like I am an idiot, and dont have a clue what I am talking about.

I have a Toro 3k machine and I have no real complaints. It sews really well but I will tell you their upper tension nut is absolute crap and must of made of been made out of recycled beer cans. Mine is stripped and I am having to make my own with a piece steel rod and a tap and dye set.
