Hi,
I am about to purchase a walking foot machine which I intend to use for leather upholstery projects. I will be stitching garment leathers and tanned leathers no more than 6-7oz thick. I've narrowed down my options to a new Consew 205RB for $1000 w/servo motor or a used Pfaff 1445 with clutch motor in good working condition for $750. The 205 was recommended to me because apparently it is better at feeding garment leathers than the 206.
The Pfaff is clearly more solidly built as I compare the 2.
Which should I pick? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
