Hello, I've read numerous articles on here and can not quite understand still what you guys mean. I know you all have years of experience to my months, but I need help finding the sewing machine that will fit me. I have a pfaff that handles my small jobs quite well ( 1-5oz leather) but I am looking for a machine that will handle the heavier leather. I have been making belts, chaps, in the area for a couple years, along with saddle and tack repair. However my hands can not take much more hand stitching and I've decided to expand business. With this comes my need for a good sewing machine that will handle the different tasks at hand. Also in the future, I will start making saddles and tack as I have teamed up with a guy who makes custom buckles etc. and just to throw it out there, I have been eyeing a cowboy machine CB4500. Is this possibly the machine I need? As far as the other brands, I'm completely clueless!! Especially when it come to walking foot, this bed or that bed etc. any help would be greatly appreciated.
