Members maka Posted August 11, 2015 Members Report Posted August 11, 2015 Hi looking to buy one in Australia good or bad for 2.5 mm to 10 mm leather Quote
Northmount Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Help wanted is like the classified ads in the newspaper. So I moved your post to leather sewing machines. Hopefully this will get you the responses you are soliciting. Posts made in help wanted require moderator's approval before they can be seen by the rest of the users. This post will likely inherit the same behaviour. Tom Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 12, 2015 Moderator Report Posted August 12, 2015 If you intend to use the CB4500 routinely to sew 2.5mm of leather, this may not be the best machine for you. Ditto if 10mm is the thickest you will be sewing. Move down one step to the CB227R, or the new, unadvertised CB341, both of which are cylinder arm, triple feed, walking foot machines of medium capacity. Quote
Members Darren Brosowski Posted August 12, 2015 Members Report Posted August 12, 2015 Hi Mick, A lot also depends on thread size as the lighter machines are generally not great at much over M20 (138) on the bottom end. As you also mentioned on fb wanting to to heavier material at times there probably isn't a "one size fits all" solution Quote
