What Is The Best Sewing Machine | Cobra 26 One Year Review

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience with this machine. I don't have a machine right now but have researched this one and heard nothing but good things about it. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

I do think that there are good machines out there. Some is based on convenience and service. I sure like my 26.

The Tech sew 4800 pro is amazing! And the service is unmatched! Love your channel!

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

@@anibal_cuero_de_arte. Texas is a great state. I have lived there before! I have not been to the Sheridan Wyoming show. The Prescott leather trade show is twice as nice as Texas.

Hi Robert, all good helpful points. You might consider getting in touch with your local tech high school department to see if they have 3D printers. Do a sketch of the spool holders you would like and see if they could recreate your design? Cheers...Freddie

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

That’s a great idea. Thanks!

I also have the class 26. My only complaint like you is taking off and putting on that table. I ended up making my own table out of aluminum and using clamps. Super easy solution and now it takes a few seconds to change out

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

That’s a good suggestion on the table. I think I might have a solution…. More to follow.

I bought the cowboy CB3200. About the same price, but the bobbins are as big as they are for bigger machines (like the class 3&4 Cobra). I also like the sit down table better than the stand up. I also got a better price on the Cowboy. I talked to leather machine co, but the shipping is the real killer. I drove 1.5 hours to get my machine. Cowboy offers lots of accessory options too. Pound for pound, the Cowboy was a better buy IMO. Cowboy also has it's own line of thread, that IMO, is priced quite reasonable. I thought LMC was pretty expensive for thread. Not really a many good places to buy the heavy thread for these machines at a good price. Tandy and Weaver are pretty high priced on the thread for anything over 69/138. Once you get to 207+, it gets kinda expensive. I love my machine too. I also own a leatherwork from Sailrite. Like that machine too for lighter flat stuff. Nothing wrong with hand sewing. I just don't want to waste all of my time sewing most projects. I sewed two belts and that was enough for me. Huge time suck sewing them. My opinion is, if you can afford a machine and can justify buying one, do it. I would also recommend a cylinder arm over a flat bed every day of the week and twice on Sunday. There isn't much of anything that a cylinder arm can't do but a flatbed gets limited quick.

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Thanks for taking time to respond with good information. Yeah the shipping can be a killer. I was fortunate to be able to time getting my machine with one of the shows that they attended. So no shipping and the discount ed $100. The thread does seem expensive…. I have purchased at a show and they discount when you purchase 5 rolls. It has been 5 for $100. It’s probably my hang up on the hand sewing of belts. I’ve gotten pretty fast and actually enjoy the process

[@jamesw.3491]

@@InMyBusyLittleShop the rolls I saw from lmc were 8 oz spools. If the ones you bought were a pound, that's a screaming deal. They are 28 bucks a one pound spool for cowboy poly thread.

​@@jamesw.3491I started out with a sailrite machine (which I love and recommend for use in proper situations) and upgraded to a cowboy cb6900. I did keep and use the sailrite for when I sew waxed canvas type materials when making totes and other small bags. Would you mind posting a link where you are getting your cowboy thread? I would like to see if they also have parts and accessories for my machine. Thank you.

There are aftermarket tables on ETSY. they are slightly smaller but pop on and off in less than a minute.

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out.
