Hi There,
I've started making purses and bags from cowhide - so it's not really thick leather but it still has the hair on. I need some advice on which type of sewing machine to invest in. (I'm currently using a heavy dutyish domestic machine but the finish isn't great and I think it's about to blow up!)
I understand that i need a walking foot sewing machine, would you agree this is necessary for this type of work? I don't want to spend any more than £4-500 if possible, would i be able to find something suitable within this budget? could anyone advise on a make or model and also on which brands are considered best?
I understand that it might be best to take the material I'm using to an industrial machine dealer and see if i can have a go on a couple of machines but if I could go with some idea of what I'm after that would be better.
I would really appreciate any help or advice!
thanks in advance!
P
