CHOOSING THE RIGHT INDUSTRIAL LEATHER WALKING FOOT SEWING MACHINE FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

[@cvasoyan6065]

My husband retired from making shoes, when the industry moved over seas. He still has a cylinder sewing machine in the garage but has little patience in teaching. Then I found your video and now I'm going to give it a try. 😳 LOL

[@dafz_morals2019]

Is the machine for sell

YYEESSSSSSS!!! FINALLY a video on the advantages of a cylinder vs. flatbed!! Thank you times infinity for taking the time and the effort to produce this video.

[@LittleKingGoods]

Wow thanks so much! I appreciate the encouragement. Yea, It's hard to figure out sometimes what would be the best machine without using them.

[@lebohangs5443]

This helped a lot. I am a beginner at leather crafting, and want to make bags, I initially thought that a flat bed was a good starting point until I saw this video. I could have shot myself in the foot. Good thing I started here, with this video, and now I am more/better informed. Thanks for the great informative vid!!!

[@LittleKingGoods]

Hey! Glad I could help in some way. Yea a flat bed is somewhat limiting. The cylinder arm machine with a flatbed attachment is so much more versatile.

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Wow, I was considering purchasing one of these machines for canvas truck canopies new and repairs but with all the negative comments was reluctant and skeptical. But after watching your video I now understand what to expect. With a little fettling, that I can handle and a sturdier base, I was thinking of mounting it on a piece of pipe with a truck rim for a base so it can be moved around the shop floor. I think this will be a simple easy machine to maintain and repair when needed. Thanks, I am so glad you took the time to share this with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@SueC56]

I had no idea that cylinder arm machines had flatbed attachments. You just made my day!

[@umangu]

Hey man, I spent so much time over the last few months looking at videos and reading up trying to figure out exactly what sewing machine is the best for me. Your video just told me everything else I had learned. I wish I had seen this video first!

[@christophermaurer1271]

Thank You. You convinced me that this is the type of machine best suited for my needs. You have saved me from buying a flat bed. I subscribed. Cheers from Australia

[@jasonianfoo627]

I'm still trying to get enough money to buy my first Machune, and by listening to you, have helped me greatly. Thank you. You suggestion was just a confirmation of what I was thinking for versatility

[@LittleKingGoods]

Happy to help!

[@doreennacht3058]

I just found you today. Great video! Thank you! That really helps a lot. You not only showed the qualities of the machine but how to use some of the functions. Since I know nothing about industrial machines it makes all the difference in the world when I can pick up any little bit to the entire process! I'll have to look at your videos to see if you go over the entire usage of the machine.

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

This info. is EXTREMELY helpful. I really like your machine. I want to look it up to see what kind of feed it is and bobbin capacity. I have a extensive handbag collection with mostly vachetta leather. I like to modify them to the way I want to use them and especially the straps. I have done some modifications by hand and also have used a local shoe repair, but would like to do them myself by machine. I could see myself sewing canvas for outdoor awnings, umbrellas and upholstery if I had the right machine and I would have to get rid of something to make space for it. I own 4 different machines for various purposes to domestic sewing and quilting. When I get to the end process of my quilting, my domestic machine can't really handle some of the thick multi-layer seams I do. I also sew a lot of denim that my domestic machines can do, but I think an industrial machine could handle it with ease. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@naimahamisu2806]

So educative ,I really happy by seeing this video. I even start thinking of buying flatbed one,but seeing this save my money

[@FreddyTurner]

Thank you SOO much I really thank you for your explanation about all the things that I need to know. I've been sewing on a regular sewing machine from the beginning of time and notice that it was very difficult to sew leather that way it's gotten easier but not nothing like what you're doing. Thank you Freddy Turner New York City

[@rethamoore4282]

I've wanted to do this for years ! I'm new to your channel and I look forward to learning all kinds of things from you. I just want to know and do for myself as I'm 68 years old and not really able to start a business.

[@nedrutland3201]

Thank you man. I’ve been looking for a machine like this for seven years. I made hundreds of scabbards and holsters with my Tippmann Boss which I recently sold, going back to hand stitching, and hated the damn thing every time. I can hardly wait to get it in my greedy little paws.

[@anthonymccoy4460]

Why did you hate the tippman..?

[@soundmind2555]

Great video and advice. I just finished my first guitar strap, all hand-sewn saddle stitch, and I think I’m ready for a machine!

[@ScottBeardLS]

I ordered my TechSew 5100 SE today. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas!

[@lukaleather5531]

Great video Ryan. Perfectly explained and a great display of how this machine works. I have the Techsew 2700 with the flat top attachment. So far I have enjoyed my machine. The fold down guide arm is great, it definitely helps with keeping layers lined up. As for the laser, I've not had much us for it. However that could just do with the items I'm making. It is another good item to have on your machine. Only hang up I do have is not actually with the machine, more with support. Supporting a mechanical item with out seeing the machine can be a lesson in developing patience. My machine is presently having an issue with "back stitching" and hitting the same holes that were made during the forward sewing action. This issue happened after installing the speed reducer. I've engaged their support and they have been responsive and answered all the questions I have as well as giving as much instruction as they can with the info I've been able to provide them. I'm confident this will get resolved, it will just take time with the way their support model is setup, which is phone and email. If anyone has questions I'm happy to assist.

Loved the video. Have been contemplating with all the different features and capabilities. Thanks much ! Ps. Tech term - Space between the Needle and main body of machine, is the Throat.

[@LukeDorny]

Most excellent. I arrived at the same conclusion with the cylinder bed/arm machines. Picked one up used on CL Last week and it has changed my work already. Cool to see someone explain the situation so well because it all rings true to me. This is the info I wish I had. Thanks for sharing to others, Ryan. Your brand is impressive.

[@andresamuels5730]

Luke Dorny do you mind if I ask how much it was. Also which model did you get and what kind of stuff do you make

[@LukeDorny]

It’s an older Necchi 840-100 and comes with a rotating bindery attachment for binding seams on bags. Picked it up for less than $1000. I put a speed reducer and servo motor instead of the massive clutch motor it had and I’m very happy with it. I make pillows, bags, backpacks, desk pads, and other items. Get a used machine to explore to keep the entry cost low. Learn it. Then decide what sort of machine fits your needs. Most machines are very good at specific tasks. Most are not good at a wide range of tasks. It’s not like the home sewing machine, you now? We wish it was more versatile, but they’re not. However there are machines that sit in a sweet spot for doing a few different tasks. For me the Cobra 2600 or the techsew 2750 would be my next one. I want larger thickness, thread, and stitch capabilities. Best of luck!

[@seanc3362]

That one stitch stepping motor is fantastic! Thanks

[@davidmiller5832]

Awsome Video! Just a Note: The needle position is done on the motor, which could be used on any industrial machine. A servo motor with needle position is only about $150 if anyone is thinking about it. Be sure to look up the wattage of the motor. Some are very weak, so very cheap. A 750 watt Consew CSM3000 is a good choice, IMO.

Nice walking-foot machine! Really like the attachments as well. I have a Consew 206RB that I use for heavy nylon and canvas. I want to dabble in leather, but unsure about all the different leather needles and which is best for what application. Maybe do a video on leather needles & sizes, types of stitch they create, and different threads to use on leather. Nice video!

[@airnashville3883]

I sew leather on a 206RB5 every day. I use 207 bonded thread and a 22 needle.

[@ThoughtFission]

Thanks you much for sharing this. Invaluable. Discovered you after your session with Peter. Any chance you could do a video or series of videos (even better) on the financial side of leather crafting? Would be great to know how you actually make money doing this along with things you need to take into consideration. I just took a look at the Techsew and it's 3500 bucks! That's a lot of bags being sold at a decent margin to pay for the sewing machine. Would love to see how you approach this. There are a lot of videos out there on how to make stuff. Very few on how to run the business side of things. Love your work!

I have no idea how I'm going to pay for it, cuz I live a credit-free lifestyle & I dont do credit, but I will not sleep until I own this machine. It seems to satisfy everything I have been looking for. But the website says from 5-6oz, will it handle 2-3oz or 4-5oz ok too or is there something about it that makes the thinner stuff not work right?

Contact Ron at Techsew and he can give you the best answers ... but, that 5100 is a Beast! It could very easily sew through what you are looking to do. Best to choose your machine based upon what you will be making. Industrial Machines are not like home sewing machines. Industrial Machines are designed to do one thing very well. For your Webbing ... if you are going to want Zig-Zag, the 5100 will not do that as it is a straight stitch only machine. Again ... Ron will be able to guide you to your best choices. Have a look through their selection online, through their website ... many machines for many uses. High quality for a fair price.

[@joslinnick]

How much better is this type of machine compared to a consumer-grade sewing machine like a Singer 4452?

[@Katie__Dancer_]

Will the machines made for heavier duty work, work for the smaller projects too? Or do you ultimately need both?

[@robf2403]

I've used #12 all the way up to #22 needles in my Pfaff 1245 and have sewn everything from 3 layers of 14oz leather down to a napkin. It's all in tuning the machine, when stepping down to smaller needles you need to move the hook assembly closer to the needle. When using different threads, you need to adjust top and bobbin tensions. Unfortunately most people don't know how to make those adjustments, and when they do, they make matters much worse or damage the machine. So it's possible if you know what you're doing, but not really worth the time and effort when a good home machine will barely set you back $100.

[@kmarcellariley]

Hey Ryan, I’m making heavy duty handbags with a similar bottom seam to some of the stitches you showed here. Is there any way I could send you some images for your expert opinion on whether or not the TechSew5000 could likely take care of them?

What do you suggest? Thanks for all the great information you've shared through the years my friend. I appreciate you.

[@LittleKingGoods]

Hey there! The 2750 is a great machine. The thing that I would recommend is the pro package because it come with a speed reducer and a drop down edge guide. The speed reducer is the most important thing. You can always play around with different feet.
