I've had inquiries, certainly - but no deal closed yet.

Well, I don't have a compressor so, at $1,400 for the Aero + $250 for a compressor I'm wondering why I shouldn't just get an electric sewing machine such as the Techsew GA5-R ($1295). Any suggestions?

The Aerostitch will go thicker than some of the electric machines. If all you need is 1/2" capacity

maybe the Techsew or similar machine is good. The Aero goes to 3/4" and because it

runs on air, the punching action is really strong.

One reason some folks like the Aero is the simplicity of the engineering, user repairability, and

wide availability of most of the parts.

One thing that is really cool about the Aero is it's ability to do one complete stitch cycle with

a single press of the foot pedal, so the control is very positive and in this respect using it

gives you the same fine stitch positioning control you get with hand sewing.

Let me think about it and see exactly how much I need to spend on a compressor.
