Handstitched Report post Posted September 14, 2013 G'day, If its any help, I have a Seiko STW 28-B ( 226 equivalent, see pic.) with only minor variations to the Consews. It gets used for horse rug repairs mainly . Horse rugs often present a variety of thicknesses, like thick seams, folds on ripstop fabrics, and variety of materials etc. But I can also sew 2.5 - 2.8mm leathers quite easily. Its quite a strong machine, but being mostly used for horse rugs, I keep it clean and well oiled. Hope this helps a liitle bit. All the best Handstitched Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted September 14, 2013 G'day again, I forgot to mention ( in case anyone spots it), this machine was originally a twin needle, but I changed it to a single needle. I can change it back if I want to, but I have no need for a twin needle. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
