Members ruthless Posted March 15, 2009 Members Report Posted March 15, 2009 I'd like to buy a machine as handsewing this collar took me faaaar too long! The aim to is eventually make collars and leads to sell, and it won't be profitable if I spend so much time handstitching. My local leather shop suggested this one, it's an Amish made handstitcher. http://www.birdsall-leather.com.au/product.asp?id=91 However, it's the only machine they sell, so I was wondering is it the best one for me or should I look elsewhere? Possibly for something with a motor. Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted March 15, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted March 15, 2009 ruthless ..... contact Artisan thru the L W the toro 3000 is less than 1700.00 now. shipping to you would be extra. Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted March 15, 2009 Members Report Posted March 15, 2009 I'd get in touch with Jim Saddler who is a member of this forum. He sells machines and he's in Q/land. Tony. Quote
Members ruthless Posted March 16, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks Luke, but the AUD is too weak at the moment to buy from the US Thanks Tony, I've sent him an email. Quote
Members ryano Posted March 16, 2009 Members Report Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Boy that is super high for a Tippman Boss. You can find them new for around $1200.00. Toledo Industrial Sewing machine, Ohio, sells the Cowboy sewing machine line and is by far cheaper on price than any other machine dealer. He also has a lot of used machines, I mean a lot. He also sells needles and thread. He has a toll free number 866-362-7397. I am just a happy customer. Edited March 16, 2009 by ryano Quote
Members ruthless Posted March 16, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 16, 2009 That's AUD, the exchange rate's really bad for us at the moment. Even if I bought one from the US for $1200, with shipping and currency conversion, it may end up the same price! Quote
