Hey everyone,
I'm looking at buying my very first sewing machine. I want to use it to make leather aprons and some upholstery.
So far, I have been hand stitching, but it's not going to work for me long term as it's slow, I really dislike doing it and my arthritis really doesn't help.
I'm thinking a flat bed machine would be best for what I intend to do.
So far I've narrowed it down to a few machines:
- Cowboy 797
- Cobra class 17
- Cobra class 18
- Techsew 1660
- Sailrite fabricator with the leather craft package.
Being in Canada, I am leaning towards the Techsew 1660 as it would probably have the easiest shipping and support options. But I've also read a couple mixed opinions about some of the techsew machines, so help me out.
Which one do you think I should go for and why?
