Wow great review! I have the Yamata 810 which is very similar and i love that flatbed conversion! Im gonna have to try and create one for my machine! And the drop down stitch guide really comes in handy!
Thanks bro❤ love your videos!!! But PLEASE come back sooner than the last times. I know its hard to do everything at once but i just love all of your videos and your overall brand! Thanks❤
I'm in a crux here. This is exactly what I need to speed up the process of making the things I am currently stitching by hand. I can't grow my business or increase productivity without increasing sales, however I can't increase my sales because I am limited to stitching everything by hand.
I hear you. I borrowed some money to buy my very first used machine, but you don’t need a machine to increase sales. That’s something you can do without a machine. 🙏🏼
I love all the additions to this version! I have been waffling for over a year trying to decide which sewing machine to get. I would like to do leather jackets and vests - do you have a suggestion for that? Thanks!
I think for stuff like that a cylinder are machine might be better. I’d talk to Ron at techsew. He’s really good with this stuff! I’ve never done jackets or vests so I wouldn’t know where to start lol
Definitely a flatbed for jackets. A cylinder arm / post-bed would be hard to use with the weight of the jacket. Walking foot at a minimum but compound feed would help if you are using thicker leathers. Some machines that would work: consew 206, juki 1541, techsew 1660
Any tips for getting the theads to line up at the end? Sometimes, that last stitch is too close (or too far) away from the first stitch I made on the patch. Also, which thread size an needles to you use for hat patches? Cheers!
I feel like I bought the wrong machine. I got the cobra class 26 to do hats but I’m horrible at it. Wonder if a post bed would be easier only thing is I’d be limited to only hats on the post bed and not able to do wallets etc correct?
@@LittleKingGoods I've started a little side hustle down here in Georgia and I love the Bone and Cognac colors...I was unaware the first few months that chrome tanned was a no-no for laser engraving (i had excellent ventilation though)..I also didn't know that buying shoulders was superior over sides...I know what you mean about the parts of the sides you cant use due to defects...thanks for all the help brother! Have a great week!
I am looking for the best machine to sew leather hat patches on hats. I have been looking at the 810. If you had the extra money would you go with the 860?
@@LittleKingGoods So I ended up purchasing the 810 pro. What thread and needle are your suggested recommendation for the average leather hat patch on like a Richardson 112? Sizes etc. I'm brand new at this and trying to figure it all out.
Ok, as a tech geek I have a question. What’s the purpose of iPhone on the tripod with a second Rode mic?🤔 Some sort of external monitor + one more audio channel?😃
lol yea for sure. It’s just my phone as a monitor via blue tooth from my Fx3. I also have a wireless mic attached to activate my teleprompter as it uses voice input to control the scrolling of the text.
You do great work. Your products are high quality. But a review of a $2500 (as you stated) NICHE product and it being basically a year since we’ve seen a project build it feels like a continuous ad/review channel. No disrespect if I’m missing the mark of the intention of your channel but would like to see some start to finish leather projects thrown into the mix.
Agreed. The best thing I’ve found is watching the older videos. Top it all off, I bought a techsew, influenced by his reviews. I regret it, and techsew has an “all sales are final” policy. Definitely will be looking for original content again, I’ll pass on the ad videos though.
@@LittleKingGoods I ordered the 4800 Pro, with hopes of stitching together ~45 dog collars for the holidays. The machine left some pretty rough tooling marks all over the leather, so I got on the phone/email/text with tech support. They had me remove springs, cut others, and try every needle type. All that and I'm still left with marks all over my leather (harness leather). I've messed around with other types, and even some pull-up stuff is still showing quite a bit. This is all without being able to use the table add-on because that adds more tooling marks. It's at the point where tech support stopped responding to texts so I'm stuck figuring this out on my own. Definitely won't be buying anything TechSew, and certainly wouldn't recommend them.
Oh man.. sorry to hear that man. Are the marks on the back or top off the project? I used some heat shrink on my presser foot to alleviate some marking. At the end of the day a machine will always leave marks.
"Light to medium duty"...5-6oz Wickett & Craig english bridle leather shouldnt be a problem?....what type of leather do you use for your patches?? Thanks for the video!!
I miss your frequent videos bro. So good to see your post today! Thanks for all you do for the community!
I appreciate that!

Great video. Which one should I use if I only do patches on hats and patches on beanies?

I’m looking forward to a reply to this. I have the same questions.
For sewing patches on caps would you prefer the walking or post bed?

The Minerva Smooth leather on your supply website, is that what you use for the hat patches?
Yea I use that leather. I also use leatherette. I used leatherette in this vid.

Yea, if money wasn’t an issue, I would rather have a walking foot.

Awesome video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!

@hemskey Hey, sorry to disappoint man! Hopefully I’ll post more work soon. Thanks for sticking around. 🙏🏼

That should be fine for a hat patch. I normally use 3-4 ounce. 1.4-1.6mm
@@LittleKingGoods any particular tannery you prefer over another? What thread size do you recommend? Thanks for all your help bud!!
I use a lot of badalassi carlo from Italy. I pretty much use all Vegtan these days. 92 thread with a size 20 needle.
