Been reading this forum for a while and I *think* I know what kind of machine I want although my purposes might be served better with 2 as previously mentioned in this thread. My intention isn't to hijack this thread and hopefully my question is inline with what's being discussed. I am looking to sew leather accessories using leather as thin as 2-3oz thick leather but primarily work on bags and belts of varying thickness (~ 6oz - 16oz). I would like to eventually move to leather garments but that won't be for quite some time. Should I be looking at a 441 clone with an optional flatbed attachment or would this be overkill? Also, which is a good 411 clone I should be looking at? Please keep in mind I would like to find locally available replacement parts so that's why I am considering a 441 clone. Thanks!
