Georapella Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Hi, everyone! I'm having some trouble finding a good dealer for a machine. I want to buy a Juki 441 clone that has attachments like a platform to convert it to a flatbed machine, swing-down roller guide, etc. One dealer wouldn't accept my payment... I asked another a simple question about a machine and his response was literally "order from someone else!" Basically, I'm just looking for a sewing machine dealer that isn't flakey and has good customer service... can anyone recommend a machine from a dealer who fits this criteria? Thank you!!

Wizcrafts Report post Posted July 5, 2019 I have purchased machines directly from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines and Leather Machines Company (Cobra). Both offer a variety of 441 clones in different configurations and price points. Both are advertisers here with banners at the top of each page. Reload the pages to get a new set of banners that go directly to their web pages. I have a drop down edge guide on my CB4500 that was preinstalled by Bob Kovar.

Georapella Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Hi, Wiz, thanks for your reply! Bob was actually the one that told me to go somewhere else... I'll check out the Cobra machines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted July 7, 2019 Yes. You might consider Hoffman Brothers in Chicago since they are closer to you. Not on the list of dealers here that sell machines on this board. They now are the people that make and service the Pro 2000 which is based on a Juki 441 head. I would at least call them. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomWisc Report post Posted July 8, 2019 I bought a Seiko machine from Industrial Sewing Systems in Janesville ,WI last year. I think the owner's name is Cody. He does sales and service in southern Wisc. and is very knowledgeable and was easy to work with. I live near Janesville so it was very convenient for me.

Hildebrand Report post Posted July 8, 2019 No offense but if 2 different dealers don’t want to do business with you maybe a look in the mirror is in order. Sometimes we as customers have unrealistic expectations of how we will be treated just because we are going to buy something from a dealer. I purchased from Bob and after several phone conversations with Bob and how he handled my multiple basic questions and requests I can’t imagine what was said that he asked you to take your business elsewhere.
