Nice! I need to get one of those. They're good people down there, I enjoyed my trip to their shop. They were super friendly and helpful when I saw them at the leather show. I can count on two fingers businesses that are that attentive to their customers, the other being the tire shop here in town. Thor is such a cool dog, he might be part human. Seems to me they have pretty good lifespans for a larger breed, I hope he's got a lot left in him!

Yeah she's loving it so far.Thats our 6th Cobra machine. We have the 4, the 26, the 18, the NP4 skiver, the finisher and the strap cutter. Probably pick up the splitter this year too.

Last time we were down Thor seemed to be feeling his age a lil more, a lil gimpy. That was a lil over a year ago. This time quite a bit more spring in his step. They have another dog too, a black lab mix. She came a nd laid down on my feet why we were talking. Didn't catch her name.

First purse sewn up on the 26:

Nice looking purse, that stitch on there looks great. I know we've talked about it before but now that you have a 4, 18, and 26, what do you think would pair well? A 4 with an 18, or a 4 with a 26? A lot of factors to consider there but what would cover the spread the best in your opinion?

Definitely a 4 and a 26. Not even close. The 26 is really a slightly beefier 18 but in a cylinder arm configuration instead of the flatbed of the 18. In your case I’d get the table with the 26 because that converts the 26 to a flatbed. Thats handy particularly if you are doing some belts or more notebooks for the kids etc. We didn’t get the table because we have the 18 but the table is really handy for certain things you are sewing. Lots of things ya need a flatbed for and lots a cylinder arm. For instance on that purse, the strap and the the stitching on the pockets, canvas lining etc all done on the flatbed. The construction of the purse itself, putting all the parts together, on the 26 cylinder arm.
