economical sewing solution Report post Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Sometimes saddle makers and leather workers need to handle extremely heavy leather, canvas, webbings, and synthetics with over one inch thickness. Singer 7-33 is the heaviest design, which has been quit production for several decades. Other machines like Seiko SLH 2B-FH-1is too expensive to afford. In this case 7273BV is your practical sewing solution. The presser foot has an ultra high lift of up to 32 mm, allows for a large range of extra heavy weight material or bulky items to be used easily. This machine specialized in sewing 5-cord nylon or heavier thread used in the manufacture and repair of safety harness, heavy saddle pads, felt and other very heavy work. 7273BV.pdf 7273BV.pdf Edited January 19, 2010 by economical sewing solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimsaddler Report post Posted April 14, 2011 A china product... so, what happens when it fails. Send it back to china? Best Webbing Sewer I ever used. Sewed 7/8" of Heavy Load Binder Web as a Snack. Then put 5 strips of Heavy Harness through easily. 3/4" of Sail Cloth and Shade Cloth. As good in reverse af forwards. I'm keeping one out of the next shipment for my Heavy Rough work, The one I was keeping was sold under pressure from a Customer as he Wanted it Badly. I found it as good and Better than a 7-33 because of the Reverse. Kindest Regards. Jim Saddler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alb Report post Posted April 14, 2011 THe flyer says it can be used for boot stitching. Can you describe what mods would be required and show some pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted April 14, 2011 I don't know if I would want to be running 46 thread on that puppy, maybe they meant for side seams? Do they even make a 794S needle in a 16/100, I'm just guessing it uses a 794 system (7x3). Art THe flyer says it can be used for boot stitching.

jimsaddler Report post Posted April 14, 2011 It uses a SM X 1000 needle, the same as the Singer 7.33. Hence the Heavy Capabilities with a 6 cord thread. The 32mm lift is beaut for Heavy Felts to Leather etc. Like 3/4" Saddle Felt to Double Skirts (Needs a 1. 1/4" lift at least) . For Footwear I can't advise except that it would go round Sandal sides easily like I used to do with a 7-31. Till the next delivery I can't comment further as I only comment on what I personally have achieved with any Machine in the Workshop. Let's say it takes a bit to impress me, the 7273BV impressed me as an honest Workhorse. Kindest Regards. Jim Saddler.
