Need sewing machine advice

[skipsmith]

My main objective is getting the right machine. I would however like it to be setup to be comfortable working on projects and not having to stand at a machine to sew projects. Every video I can find of the Cobra 26 shows someone standing and sewing.

I am having issues keeping up with inventory of our products with hand stitching and anticipate needing a lot of time behind the sewing machine to keep our inventory up.

The Cobra 26 looks very appealing as it looks to sew small leather goods which is what I do, plus perhaps bags and other items a little easier down the road with the cylinder.

If I go the with the Cobra 26, I would definitely get the table adaptor and I am just trying to figure out can you lower the machine so it can be used sitting at a desk chair to use the machine.

You seem fixated on this height thing. As Wiz explained, it's designed to be height adjustable. Have a look at this site and zoom in on the two bolts on the vertical column below the table, you loosen these to slide the table up and down. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Cobra-Class-26.

They also have a 1/2 hour video on youtube showing the complete assembly of the machine.

If it was meant to be used standing only that would severely limit their sales.

No problems..... but you need to take the caster wheels off. You keep sliding around when you sew otherwise and they do get the thread tangled around them and then only slide around badly and getting the thread out of them is a time wasting bitch.
