Members Ken Nelson Posted July 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted July 3, 2018 I have a Cobra Class 4 mounted on a newer Ferdco stand that is a bit heavier, and nicer, than this stand under this machine. It is VERY solid but not a roll around, I guess I could put casters on it but I haven't needed to move it in 4 years. LOL. Ferdco actually, or took credit for anyway, developed a little different twist on the feed system on this machine than the Cobra's and Cowboys I have been around. So far it looks awesome but I will know after I sew a pair of skirts on it. I am rather excited about it but I have too many machines right now. Quote

Ken, is it a jump foot, needle feed machine, minus the inside alternating foot?

Members Ken Nelson Posted July 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted July 3, 2018 No, it is a compound feed machine but it has the slotted throat plate with a needle guide under the throat plate. You could replace the needle guide with a standard leather throat plate and a standard leather feed dog, and have the same feed as a Cobra or Cowboy. This set up is supposed to be the real deal on strap goods with the slotted throat plate. The needle guide is available from Nicko-Sew on Ebay or they show it anyway on their listing for a TSC Juki 441. I will know more after I use it some but it does pull a nice stitch on some scraps I run through it. BUT my Cobra pulls a nice stitch too and for a lot less money than a New Juki 441 set up to sew leather. Friend of mine has a Cowboy 4500 he is quite fond of. THIS is not a put down of any sewing machine brand, it just has a little different twist on the feed. I am curious as to how it feeds skirts with dense sheepskin. I do know several really good saddle makers that use the Juki Pro 2000 and love them. Quote
