Andrew Chee Report post Posted September 21, 2013 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.

Greystone Report post Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) 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 ???

Andrew Chee Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Btw, artisan sewing machines moved to San Francisco. You can look them up cause they have a lot of leather machines. Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
