shaggs Report post Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) I make horse tack,(halters, headstalls,breast collars...no saddles) I need a machine that sews tight uniform stitches. I get so many different opinions, very understandable, but now I'm really confused. I am using a ferdco 440R now, does not give me the uniform, tight stitch I need. Tried a Randal yesterday, sews exactly the perfect stitch I want, but so big and complex, not sure if I would understand all that is needed if I would ever have any problems. Is there a machine that does what I need that is user friendly? Edited March 25, 2011 by shaggs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvcraftsman Report post Posted March 25, 2011 There are several banner ads, at the top of the page, from vendors that sell sewing machines. I'm also in the process now of trying to decide which one I want and can afford. Be sure to check them all out and talk to them. The ones I've spoken to so far have been really helpful. I hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted March 25, 2011 You've been spoiled, the Campbell or the Randall will give you the tightest stitching available. The next choice (but would never be your real choice) would be one of the 441 stitchers from one of the advertisers at the top of the page. They can be set up to sew a pretty tight stitch, and needles are available to sew different stitch lines. As for the Campbell or Randall, Sales, Service, and Support is available from Campbell-Bosworth. Once you get a Campbell and use it for a while, you'll find out it is really not that complicated. They are not inexpensive though, well they ARE American Iron. Art I make horse tack,(halters, headstalls,breast collars...no saddles) I need a machine that sews tight uniform stitches.
