Members elthoma Posted November 6, 2015 Members Report Posted November 6, 2015 Today I have finished adding my second sewing machine (and per my wife the last) to my shop. My first one was a Cowboy 441 clone (CB-5500) and this one is the CB227. I made my purchases based upon the very relevant and experienced advice as provided by everyone of the Subject Matter Experts here on the forum. I am fortunate in that I am only about 110 miles from Neel's Saddlery and they have been very supportive to all my questions and several visits. I have managed to side step a lot of missteps others learned from. I do mostly small leather projects from coasters embossed on a Enerpac Hydraulic press to belts and holsters. I especially enjoy supporting Boy Scouts and other programs in trying to bring to the youth of today the knowledge of leather working. I used to sew everything by saddle stitch, but alas as age has caught it became to painful to continue. Once again thank you to everyone. Ed Quote
Members Wishful Posted November 6, 2015 Members Report Posted November 6, 2015 I agree completely and have learned so much on this forum. Quote
Pounder Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 I could not agree with you more, the knowledge, not to mention the cost saving tips I have gleaned from the experts has more than paid for the contribution to this site. Everybody is more than willing to help and share, great place to be for a leather worker. Quote Crooked Finger Leather 5514 E. Hwy 40 Greenfield, IN 46140 (317) 947-8046
