<<<<snip>>>Are there any Dealers in Seattle area?

Ask Earnie at http://www.chholderby.com/ .  They are the best at repair and can advise on all types of sewing requirements.  I suspect that he will recommend one of the sewing machine sponsors at the top of leatherworker.net

I have been off the forum for quite a while but have been steadily been building up my leather business which started with the 3200 5 or so years ago. I have shipped to 25+- countries and my 3200 hasn't hiccupped since I received it. There were a few bugs, quickly resolved by the folks in Toledo. I have made some mods to the electronics which has slowed down the stich rate significantly, but otherwise the machine is magic! It hasn't dropped a single stitch. Just today I had to rework a one off item which required ripping out a 12" seam then restitching. I positioned the needle in the first empty hole and the rest were PERFECTLY placed in the remaining holes!

Go for it!!

Stelmackr,

Thank you for that info., I didn't know Ernie sold those. Every couple years, I do go to his shop and get something! Have to put that on my must have list!

I just bought a Cowboy 4500 from Bob at Toledo Sewing and could not be happier!  Thickest leather I have sewn is 3 layers of 8-9 oz veg tan, but it sews 2 layers of upholstery leather without touching the tension.  I bought a bit more machine than I need now, because I would rather run the machine at the mid range of its capability than run at its max limits.  It has been fun learning how to sew, as I have never sewn on a machine before.  Here is a photo of the first project - a sheath for my Japanese paring knife.

Hey Gary,Great looking job there.

Thanks Bob - I drifted off a little on the RH side, but the stitches were even!  Learning as I go and having fun!

That's what happens when you make something you noticed all the little mistakes.I had to go back & look @ it again to notice it.LOL!

I’ve been bouncing back and forth between buying the cobra 26 or the cowboy 3200. Is there a cowboy dealer in California? I would like a dealer a tad closer to me.

No  Steve at Cobra is in Northern California.  Bob at Cowboy is in Toledo Sewing in Toledo, OH and Neel at Neel's Saddlery, the Cowboy dealer is also in Ohio.
