I have even designed a smaller cap than the original cap to enable even tighter products to fit within. It can do what the others do most of the time except the other 2 you mention can take thread larger than #138. They go to #210 thickness. If that is important in your product line I would go with the 2700 as its needle is close to the edge like the 2600 and has a reduced cut out which at times would allow for fairly tight tubular curve stitching.

DonInReno Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 Honestly I doubt you’ll be able to figure out the exact perfect machine for your style of bags until you try a basic machine to get some experience with the limitations of a flatbed. It’s a lot like marrying the first person you’ve ever dated - chances are slim that’s the best fit. I don’t think thread size has even been discussed - huge difference in machines. Quote
KAYAK45 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 OK. Many of us have been where you are. So many choices, so many ???!. FIRST MACHINE, big investment. It's not just the $$, it will be the time you spend to learn everything about your new machine. What thread sizes, what needles, what oil or grease and when, can you change tensions and it goes on and on. DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW THIS. I love ANIMAL HOUSE, the movie. ROAD TRIP! Find a good pro dealer and go. You don't only need a machine, you must get some support! I have Singer 31-15, 111-155, 251-3, Cowboy4500, Aristicrat 12, Seiko PW-7B post machine and two Fortuna bell skivers. Each and every one took hours and hours to learn to thread, oil, needle thread size changes, stitch length, etc., and sew or use with control. MY HUMBLE OPINION ONLY! Do not buy on Craigs List, E-Bay, Amazon, nor the Local Newspaper. Do not buy a head only and then try to assemble and buy a matching table, motor, thread stand, belt, lighting, guides, needles, thread etc,etc,etc! You will only get what YOU NEED from a DEALER. PERIOD! Just my opinion after spending thousands $$$, hundreds of hours, to get what I needed. Good hunting, and good luck...just do it! Kevin Quote Once believed in GOD and the DOllAR......

Different machines all together other then being cylinder machines. To add to the mix depends on whether you are looking at a new Pfaff 335 which I think max's out at V69 thread or an older version. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
