Gents, I have the chance to pickup a consew It is as near as I can tell an older machine. Needs some cosmetic cleanup. Is this of any use for leather. It looks a lot like a to me. Not sure it would work but I have it. I have no use for a blind stitch bt couldn't pass up a table and a motor at that price. Thanks for any thoughts Ross. Ok gang here is what I picked up. IT needs cleaned up and is missing part of the foot. I am betting as I go over I will find more things it needs. I couldn't pass it up for that kind of money. I welcome opinions and Bob do you sell parts? Bob, It needs work mostly cleanup and cosmetic and then I will see what I really got but that kinda price I just had too.

Im super new to machines. This would be my first one. I wanted to ask you a few questions. I signed up for leatherworker. The knowledge and responses here were so impressive I wanted to ask. I have an option to purchase either a Consew or a Consew RB. I make leather bags, purses, fanny packs, etc, around 5oz - 6ozish, stitching by hand. I do want a machine that can sew heavy duty leather incase I decide to go towards heavy leather for totes. I did see someone mentioned the can sew up to 20oz, does the RB do 20oz too?

I did some searching but didn't find much in the way to answer my questions. If this has been answered many times before, please feel free to point me to the relevant thread. So, I pulled up the PDF manual on the Consew machine I just bought and was reading over the needle and thread sizes that are recommended. All of my machines in the past worked fine with domestic all purpose thread, but I know that won't be true in this case. I can't find any websites that have pics of the needles and thread up close or to scale, so I am having a hard time selecting what will be appropriate for my work. Would you be kind enough to help me? Which would you use for thick stuff like veg-tan? First of all, if you intend to use household polyester, polycore, or cotton thread, your chart looks accurate.

When industrial sewing shops were more common, the stores would stock cork or synthetic linings for the more common motors. Leather Sewing Machines Search In. Learn more.

The 'fabric' actually a piece of cardboard moves back and forth but doesn't progress in either direction. The needle just goes through the same hole.
