USE FIEBINGS OIL DYE. buff it after it is Dry. use your favorite sealer. i have had no proplems....................

medium weight is 4-6 oz. heavy would be 8oz and up.......

ERIC, I LOOKED AT THE LIST AND THE ONLY ONES THAT I WOULD CONSIDER IS THE SINGER 31-15....... PRICE IS WAY TOO HIGH. FIND ONE FOR AROUND $300-400 THE CONSEW 206 WOULD WORK...BUT.... NONE OF THE MACHINES THAT I SAW WILL SEW THICK LEATHER. ONLY LIGHT WEIGHT TO MEDIUM LEATHER. GO TO A SEWING MACHINE DEALER ,TAKE LEATHER SAMPLES WITH YOU THEN SEW THEM THEN BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT MACHINE, IF IT IS FORSALE AT A LOWER PRICE. SOMETIMES IT IS WORTH A LITTLE MORE $$$$$$ TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH PROBLEMS AT A LATER TIME...........I M H O..

I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS....

BONDAGE & RESTRAINTS.......HMMMM........CAUTION YOUR BUYERS OR THEY COULD END UP IN BANCOCK LIKE....... DAVID CARADIANE. :soapbox:

THANK YOU ART......... ps check out "BUCKAROO HATTERS".COM A FRIEND OF MINE'S HAT SHOP JUST OUTSIDE OF MEMPHIS. and be sure to listen to the music by Dave Stamey..

IF THE MACHINE IS CLOSE TO YOU, GRAB A HANDFULL OF VARIOUS WTS OF LEATHER AND TRY IT OUT,

I USE 2-3OZ LEATHER CALIF OR PIG HIDES

DOES THAT BEER TAST AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.........

Badger i would go for the Adler 205-370 at Hartley sewing machine. I M H O ...
