Hi all!!! I'm new to this forum and have read much of the content pertaining to sewing machines. Could someone who makes thier daily living or has enough experience please tell us newbies when it come to dealing with these leather machines how to cut through the bs all the dealers want to tell you???
Example: I have spoken to several dealers who all have a different opinon about what their machine will sew and what others will not. I need a walking foot machine for sewing tack and have recently sold my Tippmann and Juki DDL in hopes of buying a good electric sewing machine. However one dealer will tell me, oh ya you will be able to sew chaps and switch your thread and needle out and sew harness, and another dealer says bs, you need 2 different machines, 1 to sew your tack and another to sew chaps.
Could someone please, for the love of god, tell us what is the black and white truth. Can lighter weight material be sewn on these heavy machines and still be quality stitching????
Also any opinons on what machines to stay away from????
Thanks
Lee
