WHICH IS THE RIGHT SEWING MACHINE

[bikermutt07]

Congratulations on your purchase.

There is one thing I would like to add for future readers. No one (including myself) ever asked which of your items you sell the most of.

This should be considered. 

If you gear your purchase towards your most popular items, it would stimulate income faster towards the second machine purchase.

Have fun.

Thanks bikemutt07! Lucky this machine will do what I want to do and what my wife wants. She was going to win anyway I just happened to get lucky this time. Pays to pay it forward!

Nice one, Nick! . As for the photos, you just need to resize them (smaller). I use irfanview, it's free and has default settings for resizing - easy.

Uwe, that photo has got me thinking (bit dangerous). My Pfaff 335 is fitted to a normal table, but now I'm wondering about making something like the photo as it would save a bit of room in my shed.

Let's also take a moment to appreciate that beautiful paint job on the Cobra Class 26 in Al Bane's video above.

Now that paint color is more like it, Cobra cool!

I'm now interested in any presser feet accessories, and I didn't start this : )

But hey being i'm here looking around, might as well take a look see at the leather and regular needles, presser feet/smooth zipper feet etc.

That machine is going to work out great for you all, and really envy the reducer there.

Id still like to see Cobra on it or at least Copperhead

 

Good day there

That makes a change from the usual black/silvery grey hammertone/beige. Now that you've mastered the photo thing, how about a couple of the rear and underside of the table and motor? Might give me a few ideas.

What I like on the machines from Leather Machine Co is that most of them (as it seems) come in a quite distinguishing / typical  brown color. So even w/o stickers and badges everyone could tell that these are Cobra machines from Leather Machine Co.  All other China machines nowadays are just white and A copied from B and B from A and when you remove the stickers and badges they look all the same.

I know back then the machines were all black but you are at least able to tell them by their casting (with some exceptions) or some technical details.

Hi Nick, I was wondering if you could give an update on your experience thus far with your new machine.  How is it working with the different thicknesses of leather? I am currently looking for a machine that will sew the same things ( handbags to belts) and would like to hear how it's going before I make my decision.  

Thanks for any insight!
