I've been wanting to start a topic on this question, Tandy had the stitchmaster, but tipmman prevented the larger copy from being sold (at least in the US). I have a good feeling the Chinese company making the knock-offs continued to make them. For any leatherworkers outside the US, any info on the stitchmaster would be greatly appreciated.

I could be wrong(and probable am) but I think it is, at one time Tandy was offering a different one in their catalog, but they put the cart before the horse, and the deal never went through. It was called a Stitchmaster, but other than that I've never heard the name, or seen one in use, now that I think about it, there probably are some in use somewhere, cause there was a picture.

What was the new electric machine that you bought?

I found an older Juki LS-321 on eBay. It's sitting on my work bench taunting me as I have not set it up yet. i am going to hire Steve (from Cobra) to help me get it going with a custom table and a motor. I picked up the Juki for $650, so after the table and motor setup I end up spending pretty much what a new Boss would cost. And I can save my arm and fingers! I also found a website that I was able to download the owner's manual from for this machine so I think I'm all set.

i had a cast iron one about ten years ago before i got an aerostitch and thaught it was a good machine a little fidgety until dialed in but very durable and responds well to a careful lube job and a few hundred or so brak in stitches.customer serv is top notch regards shovelhead
