Members Fire88 Posted December 9, 2017 Members Report Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) So after much reading here and watching tons of videos I made a decision on buying the CB3200. I gave Bob at Toledo Industrial a call made a short 2.5 hr drive up to him. He walked me around the machine showing me the oil points how to thread the needle, wind the bobbins. I also got the left and right feet with roller guide and the inline feet and a couple bobbins of thread. Got it home and set up quickly. Now time to do some practice before I figure out what the first pice will be. Edited December 9, 2017 by Fire88 Quote

Members Fire88 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 9, 2017 I'm already doing some test runs on some scrap while I get the hang of it all. Thanks Again Bob. Quote
Members RhodesAveDesigns Posted December 9, 2017 Members Report Posted December 9, 2017 Nice! Bob won't steer you wrong.... Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted December 9, 2017 Members Report Posted December 9, 2017 I got a 4500 from Bob a few months ago. Beast of machine! Quote
Members Fire88 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 9, 2017 A good bit of testing and playing with the machine last night and this morning sewing scrap pieces. I'm delighted with how it performs and what I'll be able to do in short time with it. I tried sewing two pieces of saddle skirt and it sewed it well at speed but slowing way down it hung up a tad. I'm assuming I just need to go up a needle size and it'll sew flawlessly through the thick dense leather. Quote

Members Fire88 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 11, 2017 After a couple days with this machine practice/learning Friday night and Saturday today I sewed two holsters a card wallet and a dead weight. My confidence with the machine is quickly growing as I’m learning how to anticipate its next stitch placement on curves. The ability of this machine to creep along one stiith at a time is amazing especially when sewing curved lines. Quote
