Workshop Description: More and more, leathercrafters like you are purchasing the versatile Cobra Class 26 or the heavy-duty Cobra Class 4 stitchers for your workshops. For some, this is your first leather sewing machine; for others, this may be in addition to the Class 4 (or other sewing machines). Maybe you’re not sure which machine to get. If so, this is the workshop that will answer that question!

Chris will address setting up the machines, finding “home”, tension and thread weights (and needle sizes/compatibility), and go over the accessories for each as well. He will teach you how to take care of the machines to keep them running smoothly and help them live a long and productive life. Is your machine skipping stitches? Chris has the answers. Various applications suitable for each machine will be demonstrated. Questions are encouraged and students will have the opportunity to practice with the stitchers on hand. If you have ever been stumped by your Cobra Class 4 or 26, want to know if there is even more you could be doing with these machine, or are planning on purchasing one or both, this workshop is for you.

Whether or not you already own one or both of these stitchers, this workshop will prove to be an invaluable resource for your projects if you know how to operate and troubleshoot the set-up for various projects. Saving time on these machines means fewer headaches and more productivity! This will be an evening well spent at the show!
