Hello,
I'm a beginner wanting to purchase my first machine for leather auto upholstery. My focus is making low volume, but high quality auto upholstery like what's shown below.
Looking at a refurb. Consew 206 RB5 with a servo motor for about $1000. Or, I found a brother b838 double needle walking foot with servo for $1900. Is it practical to do the double stitching with a single needle machine, or would I need the double needle? I understand the double needle is faster. I'm told by the seller of the Brother B838 I can remove one needle to do the single stitching if needed. Is this also practical? If so, I would have my bases covered with the double needle machine being able to do both single and double stitching. Any opinions?
