Members Nandy Posted June 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the links!!!! I did not had the part list. Very useful. Quote
CowboyBob Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Ebay is your friend if you want options for sourcing sewing related items like bobbins and such. Some folks are more comfortable with a phone call, and buying things without ever seeing them. Maybe I should send people to Ebay when they ask me questions too??

I bet a person isn't going to be able to call a Ebay seller when they have a problem. It's like the old saying ( penny wise pound foolish ) you save nothing in the long run.

Uwe Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 The problem with the many "Call Bob" answers to question is that they don't really contribute to the knowledge base on this forum and that they create a Toledo-centric view of Leatherworker.net, which is really a resource used worldwide. Once Bob retires, all the "Call Bob" answers will cease to be meaningful. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members Nandy Posted June 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2015 I think we should all agree to disagree on the view of where to get your supplies. Everyone has their own opinion of what is better, lets respect those, share ours and move along. Having said that, thanks everyone for your participation on this thread. This is a great community!

Once Bob retires, all the "Call Bob" answers will cease to be meaningful. Well if bob helps somebody with a problem they can pass on what they were told. I really don't know but i would guess that when Bob retires his son will be there to help people. Me personally i have been on here for almost 6 years and i don't ever remember seeing one time that a Ebay seller has helped anybody with anything. The reason i said call Bob was because i have bought from him and he treated me fair. As far as the other dealers i have never seen or talked to any of them are bought anything from them. I'm sure their great people. I have seen were they they have helped folks out on here and other fourms. I knew Bob sells Consew machines and when i have called him or Bobby got me fixed up with what ever needles, bobbins and thread i needed. Plus their super nice folks !! Their are more people on here helping people with their machines than just Bob. Wiz, Steve, Darren, Gregg, Ronnie and i'm sure some more that i can't think of right off of the top of my head. Personally so far i have been able to figure out what to do if i had a problem with my machine by reading the post on here. Before computers i would have to take my machine to somebody when i couldn't figure out what was wrong. Edited June 30, 2015 by dirtclod Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
CowboyBob Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 What I should of written was...This is a great board with a lot of knowledge on it.It is supported by the people paying for the banner ads @ the top of this forum & I feel it's always best to support them when possible. Thanks & have a nice day! Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
Cobra Steve Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Every industrial sewing machine store usually have these parts in stock. I know we do as well. Try your local dealer if you have one, or try the dealers that advertise on this site. Edited June 30, 2015 by Cobra Steve Quote Thank You Steve Tayrien Leather Machine Co., Inc. 2141 E.

Members Nandy Posted June 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2015 I have to admit that for exception of one dealer, every other dealer in the household sewing machines industries seemed to be a little too full of themselves and treated me as if I was wasting their time. That is one reason I have bought my machines online. I went yesterday to the only industrial dealer I am aware off in charlotte.These people were way different, willing and helpful, with a big smile in their face, EVERYONE of them, even knowing from start that this was a little guy, a hobbyinst, just starting. I had a question about the bobbins for this machine and the sales lady could not answer it so she walked me to their mechanic for him to figure out. Not only he was willing to help, he spent so much time looking for the answer that I felt a bit guilty of using this guys time but he would not let me out of the shop until he was able to answer my question. It was just a few minutes but he did not gave up on me. At the end, the "checking out the place" trip turned out in a purchase trip. Got a few needles I wanted and once I have some other stuff lined up will probably go back for more. I love supporting local business, specially the small business owner as long as it is economically possible for me, Online buying is still another option whatever is a supporter of this forum or a faceless ebay seller.
