Ferg Report post Posted March 3, 2013 This Chandler is almost identical to my Consew 206RB-5 Will stitch 3/8" most any leather comfortably topping out with 138 thread. Can occasionally stitch with 207 on top with 138 in the bobbin. Will also stitch a little over 3/8" if the leather isn't real hard. Stitches beautifully with #69, #92, and #138 thread both top and bottom. With a servo motor you can slow the machine to one stitch per 30 seconds if you wish or run like a rabbit. Bob Kovar at Toledo Industrial Machine sells the Chandler as well as the Consew machines among many others. He may have a deal for you.
