Question on value of a Consew 277BSF

Recommended Posts

I have found this machine listed about an hour and a half from me and was wondering about the value on it the seller is asking 850$ I cant seem to find a lot of information about this model yet.

 

I want to sew holsters so would this be a heavy enough machine?

 

 

Thanks for any input

In a word, no. That machine would be great for lighter stuff like purses, wallets, watch straps and such but nothing with a thread any heavier than v138/tkt20 or a total thickness of around 8mm/5/16". Maybe a bit less. But not holsters.

Looks like it was setup for binding tasks. Could do with a new arm cover, beehive spring and screw, plus swap out the presser feet and needle plate before it could be used for regular sewing.

Thanks I was worried about that as I could not find much information about that model
