yutaoy Report post Posted November 7, 2012 Hi Leatherworker! I'm totally newbie, have been reading on here for long time. cause want to get a right sewing machien to start to make something at home, like bag, purse, cases. my budget was around 300 dolloars, but now I realized it's impossible to get one to working on leather. I looked online and saw 3 machines, hope you guys can help me 1. Consew 206RB, it doesn't say is RB1 or 2 ..., has stand and 1/2 hp motor, cording foot, welt set of feet, bobbins and needles. 2. Juki lu-563, pretty good condition. 3. Mitzi LU401BCT, It has a 200 watt 110v motor. I searched this machine, seems not many people use it. so which one should i choose? man, can't wait to make something at home, but I know still has a long road to walk ... help me please!

CowboyBob Report post Posted November 7, 2012 The Consew or Juki would be the best bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted November 8, 2012 Thank you Sewmum! what 5 numbers means after Consew RB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? or and just Consew RB ( without a number ) ? The number after the RB- designates the generation of that machine. The current generation is RB-5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
