Tricia

I would like to sew veg tan 5-6 oz to a hair on hide cowhide to create a stool top. I have researched several machines and looked for machines with a walking foot. Today, someone suggested getting a Singer model 66 or 99 to do the job. They said these models would have no problem sewing this., even without the walking foot, and that I would save a lot of money. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
