  1. I was curious to see what you thread size you are using to sew card holders, wallets, etc.. I have been hand stitching but purchased a sewing machine to speed things up with more goods available, etc.. I am typically sewing leather together that totals anywhere from 4 to 11oz.  I am thinking I would begin with 138 with a fairly tight stitch at 5mm.  I think it looks nicer.  Do you think 90 thread would look cheap and thin.  I am using nice Horween seconds, etc..  What is your go to thread size when sewing nice small leather goods?


  2. I have seen machines that will cut patterns for say a wallet or something.  I am just thinking that in order to make a lot of one thing, there has to be a way to cut patterns without having to hand cut every individual item.  Can someone put me in the right direction for a machine like this.

  3. I purchased this heavy duty leather sewing machine in January 2012.  Since then, it has been under a cover in my garage.  I have kept it oiled, and it has about 5 to 6 hours of stitching max on it.  I am a professional photographer and have just been growing my business over the last four years and have not had a chance to fully utilize it.  It needs to go to someone who will take full advantage of it.  I enjoy doing small leather goods, and this machine is overkill, so I am selling it.  I am located in Virginia Beach, VA.  It includes 4 bobbins, pack of needles, and white #207 thread.  It also comes with the roller edge guide, table, and everything you see in the first image.  $2,200
