How many stitches per inch do you suggest I use for a wallet if I need to saddle stitch it by hand? And what are the rough dimensions of this wallet? I like the size of it, but I’m relatively new to LeatherWorking
Nice stitch. Im wondering about your inside walking foot. It seems like its an open toe, did you buy it like that or get it modified? Ive never seen one that short
Hello Bruce. I've been working with leather for over 40 years. I just retired from my day job, I'm working on my leather full time now. It's time for a sewing machine. Are you familiar with coyboy CB3200 ? What do you think of it ? I don't make saddles, mostly belts, dog collars & harnesses, wallets etc. I like the 3200 because you can add a flat bed top. It will be my first machine.
Peter, I purchased my Cowboy CB 4500 from Bob at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines LTD I think it would be good if you called him and talked to him about the 3200. (866) 362 - 7397 My opinion is I think the 3200 will work for you.
That machine does a nice job! I've got the Artisan and the Cobra version, and I've been happy with them. I do the same with the #346 on top (#277 in the bobbin) because I like the contrast. I like the stitching to stand out. I haven't used polyester --it's been nylon. Any advantage to the poly thread? Thanks, Bruce--love your videos! And your work!
Bruce, In the 80's I used a Landis 3 before that I used a Landis 16 and then I bought a Ferdinand Bull and used it many years then I got this Cowboy CB4500 which I really like. My brother Phillip has two Cobras and they are really sweet running machines I would like one of those also... As far as the Polyester thread I just like the way it sews and looks I think I tried nylon one time and it did'nt work well and never tried it again. Thanks for your support and comments. Keep up your leather work and stay in touch. Bruce
I've found that nylon thread stretches, which I don't like. It seemed to cause tension problems for me. I strongly prefer polyester thread (mostly I use sz. T-90 for leathers under 6 oz) for it's strength and stability.
What sort of feed dogs are you using there Bruce? I have trouble with small pieces on my 441 clone as the feed dogs tend to push up really high and put the piece at an angle when I'm sewing near the edges.
This is a stock Cowboy CB4500 set up the way it came when I got it new, I'm not sure what type feed dogs are on this machine but they seem to the job for me. Sorry I don't have an answer. Bruce
If it is the scratch compass you may need to adjust the leg guide as well as hold it at about a 45 degree angle when you cut the groove. I may take some practice on scrap leather to get used to it.
Hi Bruce. Is the foot on the machine ( where the thread goes down through) split in the front or does it pass through a hole ( as the normal foot has) If so is this foot available or is it custom adjusted? Many thanks for your great videos.
And thanks for that info Bruce. Unfortunately I am in Cape Town:) But will make an adjustment which Im sure will work if I just cut out the front bit leaving a "horseshoe" rather than the hole. Many thanks again.
You're welcome. Mr Cheaney, how much was that sewing machine? If ya dony mind my askin. I would like to own something like that for my own work. Thanks. Have a nice day.
Hi Bruce, I just purchased a Cowboy-3200. I've been trying hard to stay on the groove line. I have the edge guide, but not the left presser foot to bring guide closer. I noticed that your presser foot looks modified. Did you cut, use a grinder to be able to see the need in your stitch groove line?
I got the open toe pressure foot from Bob at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines LTD phone number is (419) 380-8540 It does really help your sewing when you can see the stitch groove. Bruce
I usually get them from the Weaver Leather Company. Another resource is Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines LTD. phone number 1-(419) 380-8540 ask for Bob.
I think the 3200 just has a shorter neck and less foot height. You should be able to sew saddle skirts and as thin as chaps like two layers of 3 to 4 oz. chap leather.
+Bruce Cheaney thaks Mr bruce i waiting for my cb4500, is traveling from ocio to México city, i have high goles to use the machine un mi leather works!!

Nice stitch. Im wondering about your inside walking foot. It seems like its an open toe, did you buy it like that or get it modified? Ive never seen one that short
Bob at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines the place I got my CB4500 modified that open toe foot for me.
Not to different from normal sewing. Thanks 🙂
Just a little quicker. Thanks for commenting!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👍👏👍
What's the thinnest stuff you've done with it?
4 to 5 ounce I believe.
👍
Hi Bruce, nice video. Do you put any speed reducer to your servo motor? and is it 1 hp servo motor? Thanks
Yes, I do have a speed reducer on this machine I do not know the HP but it is 600 Watts. Thanks Bruce
Do you think the cb341 would be capable of sewing these types of wallets?
It sure looks like it will work for what you need. www.tolindsewmach.com/cb341.html
Do you use a stitch groover with a machine ?
Yes a C.S. Osborne scratch compass.

If it is the scratch compass you may need to adjust the leg guide as well as hold it at about a 45 degree angle when you cut the groove. I may take some practice on scrap leather to get used to it.
