Nice! @hapyrdr did you use a code for the discount? Can you share with everyone what you had to do to get the discount?

use save4may (good till May 11) discount is up to 200.00 on 1500.00 purchase so I added some accessories to top out at 1500.00 otherwise it is 125.00 for a 1000.00 to 1499.99 purchase. I just added 100.00 worth to almost get those items free Hope this makes sense :grin:

I had a consew years ago and always had trouble with the clutch . Being a car guy I always have use for the machine . learning a lot John Thanks

I would buy any accessory that I could ad to my machine that stopped the needle in the DOWN position and I could get more sewing time out of the bobbin system.

Does your machine take and M bobbin or G bobbin. Some machines take M bobbins those are about 1/3 bigger than G bobbins.

They make it. They are called Servo motors w/ needle position. I don't know how they work . Ive never used one. If you already have a servo motor you might be able to just buy a needle positioner for it.

My bobbin is a G. I put a servo motor on this machine and am going to look at amazon for the needle positioner. I am getting better at remembering needle down. It really is serious business kinda like slipping off a cliff when that fabric pulls away.

I am emptying a few bobbins Bondo, it is slow going but once these seats are done I am onto a air ride seat for a Kenworth T600. I am just not sure what vinyl to run for a daily operating Truck like this.

Yeah that would be a good question BigRig, I would say contract vinyl since its usually for heavy traffic in commercial places and it has the highest rubs ratings.
