Best place to buy a sewing machine?

[Mooncruiser]

Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my sewing machine with a soft leather/Cordura capable one.

What's the best local (Phoenix/Valleywide/Tucson) place to buy/service one?

Thankee,
Chip

Well, if you want something simple.. you know JungleToy Phx?

Right across the street, Sew & Vac. That's where I got mine, it's not industrial, but for sewing through 12+ layers of cordura, it's worthy. I also got it on sale, $400 instead of $800. But, if it ever breaks.. 2 week wait for them to look at. So, don't break what you get!

I got my industrial machine from Arizona Industial Sewing Supply on broadway just west of mill in tempe. They have many used machines in the store and can get you a machine for the specifications that you need for a great price. And the owner is a gear colector, he was pretty impressed when I brought in a paraclete pouch as an example of what I would be making.
