Seth:

Thank you for agreeing to take down the post. I really do appreciate that. It will really help us a lot.

I am glad that your machine has been working well, and again please feel free to call us with any and all questions you may have.

Seth, I did not make the comment about the robe. Somebody else said that on this thread.

Robe or no robe, you had a problem, and I hope that you can see that we all stepped up to the plate and corrected it.

For the saddle shearling, I would look to do the following:

1. Sew the saddle shearling with the leather against the feed dog. The shearling itself should be against the presser foot.

2. If you have the padded material foot, I would use it. This is the really wide foot.

3. A lot of people, when sewing shearling, will trim around the sew path with a set of shears. This eliminates most of the fleece in the way of the sew path and allows for easier sewing. If the fleece is long enough, the 1/4 inch you remove around the edge will not matter, as the fleece will "comb over" the removed area.

4. I would use a size 277 thread, and tighten your top thread tension a bit.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Thanks! I thought I had to go to a round needle>?

Oh heres an update,...and No Its daytime hours so no bathrobe,...originally those videos were just between me and Bob Jr in the wee hrs of the morning,..and I never thought about anybody else seeing them really until I decided to out on here and get some feedback.

Seth:

Thank you so much for your kind words and the video that describes your satisfaction with the CB-4500 machine.

For the saddle shearling and fleece, I would still use a leather point needle if your substrate is leather. You will need the extra punching power to sew through the heavy weight leather.

Hope this helps, and I am so glad that you were able to get the machine up and running and also that you were satisfied with Cowboy's level of customer service.

Very nice Seth. A lot easier than hand-stitching, huh? Faster too.

lol Oh man,...you better know it. I think that was a lot of my troubles too,..I had a big back-log of stuff people ordered trying to get it out the shop,..and when I got the machine,..I was in such a hurry to get it going I stumbled a bit. I completely cleaned out my shop in the last week,..everything's caught up. Its really amazing how my turn around time has gone to nothing!

I was sooooo dreadfully tired of handstitching belts and skirts and such lmao,....but I can guarantee you this,...I'm an expert hand stitcher! LOL

I wish I had one dollar for every stitch I've laid by hand,.....I'd be at the very least a hundred-thousandaire

Very nice work Seth. Are you stamping or carving? Either way, looks pretty good. Do you do a lot of saddlery in LA? (not to be confused with Lower Alabama or Los Angeles) Have some friends in Shreveport and the only horses they are familiar with are 390 if them under the hood.

Nice work.

Tim
