If you're interested I'm a flatbed sewing machine, I have a consew 206rb for sale and I'm in your area.

As for the techsew, they're not bad. I have a pfaff 335 which is what that machine is a copy of (at least an older model) and they would work just fine for purses. I see my bags on the 335.

Also check with the Leather Machine co and Toledo sewing both supporters, here

ck look at top banners

Steve LMC is near you, west coast and might have a good option at a fair price,

close, top notch service and support after the sale very important db

ALSO Very important before you buy Clearly define your current use , it will change and vary over times

light weight only 6 oz or less or heavy bags like a messenger

if you can narrow the range,,, better chance for best first choice

as you develop your style/ selection you WILL find the need to add more options to do bigger/ heavier material

if you choose to and add a heavy sewing then

also cylinder arm machines You can add a table for flat use as well as ???

Btw, artisan sewing machines moved to San Francisco. You can look them up cause they have a lot of leather machines.
