KennethLee Report post Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Hello! Long time leather worker here, ...moderate skills, anyway im new to the forum, saying hello to you folks! Been doing leather working most of my life, ive made about 200+ pieces in my life, but im trying to get a lot more serious, i have a SINGER 29-4, and im about to order a COBRA class 26 Ive made a lot of pants, kilts, and tons and TONS of bags of ALL kinds, oh my gawd ive made a lot of bags! . WANTED TO SAY THANKS TO WIZCRAFTS for greatly helping me make my $$$$$ choice on my NEW TO COME machine im buying next week, that being the COBRA CLASS 26, 90% of all i do is two layers of 6 ounce or less. I couldnt get ahold of LEATHER MACHINE, then the girl there said theyre shut down cause some guy working there tested positive for the Covid-cooties. heres my ancient 29-4.

You can hopefully get a similar machine from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines. It is called the CB341. They also have a new to them CB1341 (Juki 1341 clone) that may be a step up.

I spoke to Bob Kovar yesterday about something else and asked him about the CB341 vs the Cobra 26. He said it has the same specs as the Cobra 26 and they are in stock. You could drive there on a good day, with cheap gas, and try it out. Then you'd know if it is any good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
