Members mike6642 Posted June 28, 2016 Members Report Posted June 28, 2016 Here is a old belt strip that I practiced on 5 mm thick,I made a groove and followed it.i never sewed in my life so for a 72 year old man im pretty happy with the results. The machine is so quiet and smooth, of course im going pretty slow. Thanks to this forum im able to get the information I need to do this. For belts,holsters, and bags this is all the machine I need. The set up was nothing, only thing to adjust was tension. I will say that the manual could be a lot better, im told that most manuals leave something to be desired. Quote

Members Double Daddy Posted June 30, 2016 Members Report Posted June 30, 2016 Nice work! That wave pattern sure makes a nice belt, too! I'm kickin' tires, lookin' at one of those CB227R machines for myself...gonna need it in the moderate-to-near future...tuned for thin stuff like wallets 'n such that my CB3200 isn't set up for at the moment. I keep reading that these machines are like Lay's tater chips... Every post like this that I see keeps pushin' me in Cowboy Bob's direction...just a few more box tops and I'll have it Chris Quote

Members SamSeitler Posted September 26, 2017 Members Report Posted September 26, 2017 Mike, great work. Im also looking at the 227 for making backpack straps. What size thread can that 227 handle? Quote
