Tech-Sew 2700

[Hillbilly tim]

Hello all, I'm looking for anyone with firsthand real world use knowledge of the Tech-Sew 2700. I'm considering their machine but wanted to hear from users. Yes, I have watched the video. Is the 2 layers of belt material bring sewn represent the maximum realistic load to be sewn on this model? Is there a better alternative? I dont want to sew 1oz stuffs but may want to sew a little heavier than what is shown in their videos. Ideas because my hands cant handle sewing these collars and leashes much more.

Thx Bro Tim

Realistic thickness is 3/8". Foot lift is about 7/16" to 1/2". Will sew with #207 thread in top with 137 in bobbin. Preference? #137 max and will sew very nicely with #92, #69.

I do not sew with anything less than #69.

Wallets, purses/handbags, chaps, belts,and lining leather with some critical tension adjustments. I find any machine that you have setup for 1/8" to 1/4" leather thickness

wil need readjustment of tension for thinner material.

Hi Tim, for sewing 2 layers of belt leather I'd recommend having us add a speed reducer onto the machine for you. The 2700 would be fine for sewing collars and leashes. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions.
