LINDSAY Report post Posted September 8, 2009 So i finally spent the money and got my own machine (instead of using all of my friends..Thanks guys ) I purchased the Artisan Toro-3000 @ the sale price of $1795.00. After many phone calls to Jerry and a few other companies, I was sold on the Artisan. Super Fast shipping , the only problem i had setting it up was the bobbin winder piece was a little off and the spool would not fit on the rod. But after a few minor adjustments and a call to Dave (to make sure I wasn't hurting anything) everything is GREAT!! Had the machine since Thursday already made a checkbook cover , knife sheath and a pair of spur straps. Thank you Jerry for all your assistance!!

Lindsay, dont know if you saw the other slog blog going on about stitching machines,, but I just got my Toro 4000 last week and I love it. I had a little extra money and opted for the longer arm on the 4000, cause my wife makes custom saddle bags. I also do a lot of saddle repair, and am running a special sale on refurbishing western saddles, so the deep arm is great for stitching new sheepskins onto saddle skirts. I also got great service from Dave at Artisan, they are great guys to do business with. thanks ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am excited to see you post some projects you have done with your new machine! I get like a lil one in the candy shop every time I sit down to mess with my machine:) Happy Sewing LINDSAY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
