Angelt Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I am about to buy 2 industrial Juki sewing machines from someone. If I buy the 2 Juki's he will throw in what he calls a "leather machine" I am familiar with Juki's as my mom has several but the "leather machine" is an enigma. I "googled" but with no luck. I live on a ranch and would love to be able to repair my own tack. The man knows nothing about them and is selling for some friend's who don't speak English. I need the Juki's for my Embroidery work and the other machine is a throw in. Can I get parts for it? Any insights would be helpful.- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to know the manufacture and the model number for anyone to be able to answer your question. Tell him you need the name and model and to provide photos of the front and back of the machine. Old Singers (domestic) are frequently listed on eBay and such as industrial strength capable of sewing 1/4" of leather. They are not. Industrial machines have the motor under the table, not on the back of the machine or inside the housing. Those that are "leather machines" have been modified to handle leather without damaging the surface of the leather. They are walking foot machines, so have two feet that operate in sequence with the needle to move the leather as it is being stitched. Tom Edit: See the banner ads at the top of the screen for various sewing machine dealers that support this site and provide excellent service to the community. Each time you refresh the page, you will see a new set of ads. Look at their machines and descriptions to see what a "leather machine" looks like.

camano ridge Report post Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) As Northmount said there are lots of machines people call leather machines. There is nothing I no of that is branded "leather machine". There is the Leather Machine Company they sell Cobra. You will want to get more information. I would be suspect if he is just going to throw it in just because you are buying two Juki's unless you are paying a substantial price.
