I have a few questions regarding machines. I mostly sew wallets, belts, and knife cases, but I would also like to do bags at some point. As far as belts and sheaths go, I use Hermann Oak Saddle Skirting Leather.
Should I use 207 or 277 size thread, or both?
Is the Cowboy 797 from Tandy powerful enough to sew through 2 layers of 10-11 oz Hermann Oak without pre-punching the holes?
If not, what machine should I look for? I've looked at the CB3200 and the Cobra Classes 3 and 4 sewing machines, but those are a tad out of my budget for now.
