Industrial Sewing Machine
 

I picked up this Consew 206rb-5 and now its time to start learning it and see what kind of fun i can have. Anyone else have one they use?

I use a similar straight stitch machine at work (Yamata I believe) to repair heavy items like boat covers and leather repairs. It was fun to get used to adjusting the sew speed. I figure one day ill sew through my fingers but it has not happened yet. I have found very few people know how to sew today, it is a viable skill for sure. I have a few leather hides im going to sew into a few door panels when I get time. What are your plans with it?

I have a Consew RB-4. Haven't used it much but have plans to. I picked it up off CL in almost new condition.
