The conversation with Bruce Brand. The pros and cons of aftermarket sewing machine parts. 

Thanks Al & Bruce for all the help you do for this craft. It is much appreciated.

I’ve listened and read over and over again the advice you guys have been sharing with all us for many years. If all the members would just read you guys comments and go back and read over again and again and then put it to use they would learn some skills and would not need all the trinkets! If we added up all the time that you Al and Bruce have given us hobbyists and paid it out we would S$#t ! Thanks for all that you guys do for me and my friends and the money you save us and for the skills that you have taught me! Greg

Novices want tools that do things for them regardless of skill. And that’s the market these aftermarket parts are directed toward.

Didn't like the flatbed that came with my machine a cobra 4 bought a flatbed attachment works better than stock. Everything else is great and premium package has all I've found I need. Al your right use a little common sense and practice. I'm just a mechanic and a fireman and use my machine for upholstery and straps and a leather addiction. Always like your advice.

Hello Al my question: Is the cobra 26 good for making leather holster? And is the maximum thread 207 or could it handle #277. Thank you
