Leather Cobbler Machine Cobbler Sewing Machine, Shoe Repair Machine with Manual Dual Cotton Nylon Line Sewing Machine for Upsolery, Clothes, Zippers and Tents

This machine arrives in mostly functional state, however go on youtube and you can learn learn how to set this machine up. There are a few moving parts on the machine that might need some observation to make sure they move freely. If any parts bind or rub they can be adjusted with washers at pivots to give rubbing parts some travel clearance. Use nylock nuts on some of these bolts, so they do not come apart as some bolts are there as pivots and not designed to be fully tightened. Many of the nut and bolt sizes are M6-1.0 Metric. Once you have the moving parts moving free and clear, then you should mount the machine on a wood pedestal riser and mount pedestal riser on a nice big flat piece of wood with rubber feet. Enough to clear the hand crank. Make sure machine is stable when cranking. Also lubricate all contact and pivot points with oil. The next thing to make sure is to know how to verify and possibly set the 'timing' if needed. This involves setting the rotating bobbin hook to swing right past the threaded needle, just as the needle goes to full depth and begins to go back up. Then learn to route the thread through the machine and set the thread tension. There are many youtube videos showing everything I have mentioned above. Once it is set up, it is an amazing machine! I have sewn through very thick material with zero issues. This machine is not 100% 'plug and play' but if you have the patience and some fabrication skills to set this machine up, you will have a machine that easily does what machines many times this price point can do. :-)

Its a nice little machine once you get it to work properly and works ok but you need to work on her there are lots of sharp edges you have to round over and polish , it needs a better instructions manual with more details the tools and machine stand they Suply are of poor cuality i strongly recommend making a custom made one as you prefer other than that for the price of it it is what you need as a hobbyist nice and sturdy

I'm extremely impressed with this machine so far. Being a mechanic, I'm going over it and installing some shims and checking alignment of the moving parts. Haven't done any sewing with it yet but it appears to be very well made for the price and am 100% sure it will be great. Even the packaging was well put together. No broken or missing parts in the box. After many reviews and research checks, I thought I knew what I would get. NO, Muuuch better. Was going to spend $$$ for a bigger machine, but glad I tried this. Many Youtube videos show every detail.

Poor directions. Had to spend an additional $110 to have it made useable. Get rid if the tripod and mount it on a 4x4” block and use a broom handle to make a holder for the larger spools. A clothes hangar can be used as a thread guide off the spool. I am willing to be satisfied with this because the next step up in sewing machines cost $2000 at our local leather shop.

Complete Junk. Used their mono filament first, and it did ok. Switched to some bonded nylon 66 and got 4 inches stitched before a spring or something gave up in the drum. Now the foot just stays forward under the needle. Everything seemed fine until it stopped walking. Maybe some of the other brands are built better, but this one is not worth your money. Makes for a great trash weight if your can is full:)

What a fun machine

My first one was not very good. Sent it back and they replaced it and this one works great.

Calidad aceptable, bien calibrada, funciona a la primera
