Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. I was wondering how well it would work with English raised leather, which I may have to do by hand anyways. I would like a machine for halters and various other equipment in the future and definitely will consider the cobra or the cowboy.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions, I am definitely looking in to the Cobra 4 or the Cowboy 4500. I do plan on calling and talking to them about both machines. My plans are to make English bridles, girths, leather halters, specialty brow bands and bags. How is either machine on smaller things such as stitching on an English Bridle. I just want to make sure that these machines are not only suited for saddle making and heavier leather?

I am looking in to purchasing a leather sewing machine, I just purchased a singer off eBay however it does not seem to be the quality I am looking for. I am planning on making equestrian leather goods for my newly started business. I was looking in to Alder machines and watched a video for one on Weaver and wow does it seem nice however with a 7500 price tag. I am looking for suggestions on what people are currently using and any added features that you may find helpful. I would be sewing leather up to 3/4 thick. Thanks!
