A few years ago I purchased a brand name manual leather stitching machine. After months of frustration trying to keep it in adjustment, it became a $1200 hole punch and I started hand stitching everything again. Last year I started to look for a power machine. After a lot of research, I called Steve at the Leather Machine Co.. I was hesitant to spend the money on the Class 4 Cobra machine, but I finally decided to take the plunge.
My purchase has proven to be an excellent decision. I love my Cobra Class 4 machine. The machine sews beautifully and came with a variety of different presser feet. I can sew heavy leather holsters and then switch to canvas webbing or upholstery leather without having to adjust the tension on the machine. The Class 4 was easy to learn how to use even for someone who has never used a power machine. With just a few test runs, I was able to start sewing immediately
What sets the Leather Machine Co. apart from some other suppliers is customer service. I had some questions when I originally setup the machine. A quick call to Steve and all my questions were answered. I highly recommend Steve and the Leather Machine Co.. You can spend more money, but I don’t think you can buy a better machine or the customer service that comes with it.

"Steve, the master of friendly service. When I call Steve with a problem, I know that he will understand my problem and provide me with a solution. Since I received my new Cobra Class 4 Dream Machine, I have been sewing things that I never thought were possible. This machine is versatile, and sews flawlessly. I am very impressed. Thank you, Steve"

Ok, I too would like to write a testimonial about my new "Dream Machine". I would attribute this to the amount of times that I've called for some "how to" advise and have gone on about the machine and what its done for my business.
In short, I can only say that the quality of my work has improved dramatically. I find the machine effortless and compatible with the wide variety of leathers that I work with in my shop, Ace High Leathers.
The variable speeds allows me to pick and chose as the piece requires. The ability to go from very thick thread to 138 allows me to create finer high quality products with the precision that this particular machines offers.
Needless to say the name "Dream Machine" is quite appropriate and Steve's excellent customer service are both unsurpassed. |

I purchased a COBRA CLASS 4 in April 2010. The treading was easy the bobbin was easy and the speed is great,easy to turn up or down with just a tonch. Love the foot control. If you want a great machine at a great price with great service buy from The Leather Machine Co. I'm very pleased with this machine and will buy my next machine from Steve. |

I have a Cobra Class 4 machine that I am nothing but happy with. It was easy to set up and to learn to operate. It sews heavy leather, light leather and anything between. Steve told me the Class 4 was all of these things and he is a man of his word. MW |

Hi Steve,
I've been looking for the right machine for about a year. Looked at quite a few in Sheridan last year. The class 18 does just what I need and a little more. It sews through a couple layers of 8-9 oz leather like it is butter. I'm still a newbie, I've been doing leather work for about two years and getting a machine has made life a lot easier.

WOW! I just got my class 4 and WOW, what a machine! This is a quaility machine, pulls a nice tight stitch, everytime, I would certainly recommend to anyone, you won't be sorry. Steve was easy to work with and stayed in touch as to the status of my machine arriving. I had been using a Tippman Boss, what a difference between the 2 units! I looked at a lot of differant machines and am so glad I found the Leather Machine Co. |

Over the last 7 years I have had the pleasure to work with Steve resulting in the purchase of 3 machines. In that period, I have found Steve to provide the very BEST customer service I have ever experienced.
Steve bends over backwards to provide support, answer questions, and correct problems both before and after the sale. Steve’s total commitment to his customers is truly unique in this day and age.

I received my COBRA 3 leather sewing machine last week. The delivery service was great. They called two days ahead of time to let me know it was on its way and also called a few hours before the day of delivery to make sure there was someone to recieve the delivery. The machine is simply amazing. Love the dark brown and tan colors. After using a Tippmann hand operated sewing machine for years there is no comparison between the two. I put it to the test right out of the box by sewing four layers of 12 oz leather was about half an inch thick total. The COBRA 3 went thru it like butter with a smooth and beautiful stitch! This is far thicker than any project I will ever be working on. I also sewed some garment grade leather. AMAZING! The machine is heavy enough to sew thick leather as well as delicate garment grade leather of about 4 oz with noproblems at all. You have a winner with your COBRA machine line of leather machines. |

Out of all the machines that I have used, I like the COBRA Class 4 the best. It sews everything that I want it to, perfectly. Steve is a good friend of mine and you can take everything he says to the bank! |

I purchased the Cobra 4 cylinder bed machine a couple of months ago, and I have to say that it's really upgraded the quality of my output considerably. I no longer feel anxious when I need to sew the leather bags I'm making--I can relax. The machine will sew completely beautifully. The astonishing part is that it's SO powerful, yet is able to sew with tremendous control and delicacy when that's what I need. Then there's the issue of SERVICE! The other thing about Steve is how well known he is in the industry for his extraordinary service, great expertise, and generosity with his time. He's fundamentally a very kind man, with an extraordinarily good set of products, and a great work ethic. Don't look anywhere else. |

Last week I was on the way home and got a call from Steve Tayrien at THE LEATHER MACHINE COMPANY. http://www.leathermachineco.com Wanting to know of all things, how my sewing machine was doing. This call caught me off guard as I was thinking what is he selling? I could go on and on about my Cobra Class 3 and all it can do or how much time it has saved me, but this is not going to be about the machine as much as the service. I had been in the market for a sewing machine for a couple of years. I talked to several companies about machines and had set my sites on this style. I was to pick up a machine, NOT A COBRA,
at the international show in 2008 and made the trip to pick it up. Well with out going into all of the details I left with out one due to mine had not made the shipment to the show.I went about another 6 months looking at machines and heard that Steve had started his own company. After talking to Steve about the changes he had made to the machine he was selling, and knowing that he is a sewing machine mechanic. The choice for me was a no brainer. At first I had my problems getting it set up as everyone does. During that time I was on the phone nightly with Steve doing the tweaking to get it perfect. Well I guess Steve had not heard from me in a while and thought he should call me. I am happy to report that the Cobra 3 is working flawlessly and never misses a stitch unless it is my fault for not making sure I have enough thread in the bobbin before I start.I am so happy with my machine that this year it will be at the Extreme Leather Workshop in Al Gould’s Class to Stitch the Breast collar. I would not let it go out to be used in a class environment if it were not a bullet proof machine besides I have Steve on the sidelines should I need any help with it. I guess you can tell when I am happy with something I want to tell everyone about it. With follow up service like that, The Cobra Line of Stitcher's has earned the title of Official Machine used in the Hides To Art Workshops.Kevin Adams |
