Leather Sewing Machines
Lighter weight leathers can be sewn on home machines, but the tough stuff requires commercial or industrial sewing machines. They can be tricky to set up and operate, but can't be beat for production work.

I came across a Consew 289rb-1 locally and I’m not really finding much about these machines anywhere. I sew mostly tack so 10oz+ Vegtan, bridle, and harness, and Ive currently got a Cowboy Outlaw and a Sailrite but I really need to upgrade. Will this handle what I need and is $1k a good deal? Thanks in advance!

It's been a while since I was here. I have gotten a 29k58 machine. For some unknown reason a previous owner took out the front shaft that allows for the balance wheel to be mounted on the front. The hub is still there. The part numbers are 82008 for the shaft and 81869 for the gear. From the research I have done so far it seems that those parts are the same on most if not all Singer patchers. Can anyone tell me if they know if those parts are still available, even used. And if the parts from an Adler or some clone would fit.

In this short video Tim Alden of Alden Leather Supply shares a neat trick for sewing next to hardware. Wish I'd thought of this. He makes sewing sideways look easy. I've used hand sewing, different presser feet, and backing up towards the hardware to get the hardware sewn in tight. Any other tips to share? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bcjp74xtc/

I have the occasion of getting a Mitsubishi DU-105, How would you compare the Seiko STw-8B, to the M DU-105 and an adler 167-63 (simple, a worhorse, although drop feed and needle feed only, a great machine)? In terms of - stitch length -ruggedeness - parts availability Thanks a lot for your answers, it\s a very interesting community here! Best Xavier

3 years ago, I took this machine to a technician and he did a horrendous job, he even broke the revolving bush handle somehow. he also had the audacity to use something similar to J-B Weld Plastic Bonder to replicate the tip of the needle bar. needless to say it completely shattered the first time I used the machine. he also used a hose clamp as a stitch regulator. at the time I just gave up on this machine because I already had a singer 29k and didn't need another one, now I do need it but can't find parts for it anywhere. can anybody please help me? AFAIK I need a bobbin case, stitch regulator, revolving bush handle and that tip of the needle bar where you pu…
