Any and all advise is greatly appreciated. Don Quote
Members Geneva Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) If you are going to do some serious leather sewing this machine will not hold up. PS: This Youtube video should help. I will keep my mouth shut this looks like a good machine. Edited June 20, 2015 by Geneva Quote
Members dfrensdorff Posted June 20, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 I should have mentioned I own a Cowboy 3200 ...... I would be using this for lighter work.....is it a good machine? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 I don´t know REX machiens but I´d assume it is a good machine but personally I´d rather buy a needle feed machine for light leather work. Seems this one has top and bottom feed but no needle feed. If I were you I´d test sew it with the materials I want to sew before I buy it. $200 sounds like a fair price but depends on the condition.

Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted June 22, 2015 Members Report Posted June 22, 2015 Rex is good, old Japanese quality. Machine is a top bottom feed.
