CowboyBob Report post Posted July 23, 2009 The Pfaff 331 is almost the same as the Consew227 except the parts don't interchange. Nakajima was bought out by Juki a long time ago & they changed alot of the model# & also some of the parts so you might have trouble getting parts for it unless it's a model they still make under a different model#.

wyatt1958 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Howdy, The Consew 277R is great little machine. I have used mine since 1994 and have made hundreds of chaps bags n belts. I run 138 and 92 thread and have no problem at all on rodeo chaps. If you are doing tooled tops on rodeo chaps I use my Juki 441. With the 16" arm it works better for chaps anyway. Love my Juki, Consew, Landis 3 and Singer 29K long arm. Hate the Number 9 I used to have! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
