This is one topic that always gets my head spinning.

I have considered several times buying a Boss but you have one group of people who love there machines and have few problems and then the other that can never keep them adjusted and stitching properly.

It really don't matter if you buy a Boss or an electric machine to avoid problems, cause either way, you have to learn how to use the machine. Like anything you have to have a working knowledge of the tool your using.

THIS IS THE MAIN THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT SEWING MACHINES................

Thanks everyone for chiming in on this. After much deliberation (and also finding a sweet deal on an electric!) I decided to go another route for my first machine. Please feel free to posting to this thread, maybe it will give anyone else looking at that stitcher some good info.

Cheers,

Andy

Pictures, pictures...please

I kind of figured this was the case. The better you understand the tool the better it will perform for you. It is the same for just about any tool

I should get it by the 29th via UPS. I'll take some and give some info on it by then.

What was the new electric machine that you bought?

Is the BOSS the only hand operated machine?

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.

The Boss is no longer the only manually operated leather sewing machine. Luberto's has expanded their line to include the "Cub" series, which has a full rotary crank and is available in two arm sizes. Leatherstitchers.com is their website, but I don't think they've upgraded the website to include the Cub yet.
