New Cowboy 3200

[torker32]

Just a picture of my new 3200, Saved my nickels and dimes, collected pop bottles in my little red wagon. Only had it for 2 weeks and have been impressed with it. Haven't owned any machine before this one.  Like someone here before said ( Welcome to the Jungle) Thanks guys...

Congrats and enjoy. Wish the 4500s came with the separate bobbin winder. Makes stitching items a heck of alot less time consuming.

You can order a modified stand-alone industrial bobbin winder from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines, altered to fit the 441 bobbins. They are modded as ordered. I have on order for my Singer 42-5.

That's a great machine, I bought the 227 a few weeks ago, I been practicing on old belt strips, I hope you are having as much fun as I am. Instead of using the bobin winder I took the shaft and put it on cordless drill and wound 6 bobins,the drill works fast and I don't have to mess with the bobin winder, it's a personal choice.

Thanks Wiz Ill look into that or try the drill method.

I usually only have one large spool of any one color (gotta get more thread) but regardless the bobbin always pops away from the tab that engages to turn it on my 4500 so I end up sitting there with slight pressure on the bobbin to keep it engaged and turning. Ive tried playing with things but it still does it about 50% of the time.

There are three different external bobbin winders on the market and the one pictured is the mid range version.

The gold coloured type is the simpler and, naturally, cheaper version.

Top of the line is the ADLER type that has a worm driven arm that run the thread across the bobbin.
