    Wizcrafts, I'm sure you must have answered this question before, but here goes.

    I've been hand sewing leather for many years. I just retired from my day job, I will be doing my leather work full time now. I make belts. dog collars & leads, cases, & wallets. What sewing machine do you recommend that can sew belts & wallets, & cases ? I have about $1,500.00 to spend.

                                                             Thank You

      Wizcrafts,

        Thank you very much for your input .

      After looking over the CB227R, seems like it is just what I need.

      My family want's to get it for me for a Christmas gift.

      I will give Toledo a call.

                                                      Thanks

      Wizcrafts,

        Just went on line & checked out Ryan Niel's videos on the CB227R & CB3200.

      I really like both machines. Question, will the CB3200 sew wallets, or is it too heavy duty of a machine to sew wallets ?  I can't afford to buy both, This will be my first machine, so I don't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong machine.As I said I make belts, wallets, cases, dog collars & leads.

      What do you think ?  This is a big investment for me !

      Wizcrafts,

        You asked me to define the thickness of the leather I/ll be sewing.

      8/10 oz. on top, & 4/5 oz. on bottom. Thread size 207(T210). Should be the thickest leather I'll be sewing.  3/4 oz on some lighter projects. Do you think the CB227, or the CB3200 would be the better one for what I need it for ?
