I hope you enjoy this video on the Leather Machine Company Cobra 26. This is a very capable leather sewing machine. The Cobra 26 can sew leather up to 7/16” thick but can still sew thin leather as well.
Purchasing the Leather Machine Company sewing machine was a huge decision that took me over one year to make. This was for a number of reasons. One reason was that I enjoy hand sewing. I find hand sewing relaxing.
One of the challenges is in sewing leathers that are softer like leather for totes and bags. Many do not have the stiffness that makes it easier to line up your stitches. This results in extended sew times. Recently, I created a leather backpack purse that just the sewing part took about 4 days…. Well anyway.
So in this video I cover the final assembly of the Leather Machine Company Cobra 26. I cover this as well as the setting up and first stitching in my shop.
I talk a little bit about why I purchased this machine as well. At this point I am going to continue to hand sew my belts as well as many other projects.
I purchased the Leather Machine Company cylinder arm sewing machine at the Heart of Texas leather industry trade show in Waco Texas. Yep purchased. I hope you enjoy following along in this next step of my leather products journey. I’m sure that there will be many frustrating projects as I learn the abilities of the Cobra 26 and the limitations of my skills.
