ruthless Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruthless Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryano Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruthless Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
