Kustom Report post Posted August 12, 2009 So after much belabored researching I bought a new sewing machine today. I went down to Cobra in Highland and Steve answered all my question about machine sewing and thread sizes. I've never owned a machine before so I had a million questions. I ended up buying the Cobra 17 and Steve's bringing to my house on Saturday, I can't wait. The thing I learned from all my research is it's not worth buying a used industrial machine and converting it to a leather machine with a servo and speed reducer, especially if you don't know what you're doing.

sfcdan Report post Posted August 14, 2009 Good for you. you're lucky you live close to Steve's shop. I myself have been working with steve to get my chandler 205 working, great service from him and I haven't bought anything yet. My next machine will definitely be from his store. Hope you enjoy the machine. Daniel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ps0303 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 My son called me at work today to tell me that my Cobra 3 was delivered to the house. Awesome! Wasn't expecting it yet. After taking the wife and the other son out for dinner, I got home and started the unwrapping and putting together the machine. Just like Christmas eve and putting kids toys together. A few hours later, it's together and in the house. Just need to figure out the thread feeding and a few other items and off to practice I will go.

I got my New Cobra series 4 today. This transaction was the way it is supposed to be in my opinion. Got it set up and it does sew like a dream. I still have a little adjusting to do but a real promising machine. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you enjoy the machine. Daniel. I am really digging it. Steve got here at 2:58, that's two minutes early. No one's ever early in LA. He didn't even have to adjust it to the leather I wanted to sew. It was a perfect stitch from the get go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyvern Report post Posted August 28, 2009 I just bit the bullet and bought a Cobra Class 18. All I have ever used was an old singer home machine. WOW, at the difference. I am totally happy. I beleive that this is the best investment in my business I have ever made. I called and pestered Steve at Leather Machines a couple of times. He was GREAT every time I talked to him. I purchased the machine from Zach Whites. They were GREAT with their help in making sure I knew how to thread and operate the machine, even though (in my jonesing) I called every couple of days asking when it would be in. Thank you to both of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
