We're in Dallas, TX. www.solar-leather.com My goodness. Alrighty, I really only have a couple questions if you dont mind answering! I do a lot of small projects and the most I will ever use is a triple layer of 8/9oz. I am looking at the CB2500 and the CB3200. Whats your suggestion for the best machine for me? I think the 2500 would be fine but Im worried about the feed teeth making marks on the bottom. Also, are these machines easy to use? This will be my first big machine with a motor and I just want to get all the information that I can! Quote

There is little that is not obvious about them. You will get a basic instruction sheet with your machine, plus there are numerous videos on YouTube that demonstrate the setup and use of these big harness stitchers. When you buy one of these machines new it will arrive threaded correctly with a thick stack of leather sewn off, sitting under the presser foot/feet. Most people who are torn between a bottom feed CB2500 and CB3200/3500/4500 will buy the compound feed model with a smooth feed dog.

That's what Im leaning towards, reading your post over the general information of sewing machines really helped me come to a decision quickly on what I needed! I'd rather just bite the bullet and buy a machine that is capable of sewing way more than I need just in case. I'd rather have it and not need it than vice versa. I just didnt want to buy a machine that was WAY more than I needed. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted May 16, 2017 Moderator Report Posted May 16, 2017 You won't go wrong with any of the compound feed Cowboy machines. Alexander is a very knowledgeable dealer and will assist you when you are cornfused about some facit of the machine. He has videos for the viewing about most of the machines he sells and services. As I added after my first reply, a new Cowboy machine will arrive threaded and with leather sewn off under the foot. Photograph the thread path and direction the winding on the bobbin face in the bobbin case.

I emailed info@cowboysew.com and they were able to hook me up with someone close to me! That way you can either email or call them and talk out everything!
