Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my question. I called a local industrial machine dealer and they have Highlead and Typical machines. They are walking foot machines with servo motors and are on a 20x40 table. They don't have the triple feed, is that critical? Does anyone have experience with these brands?

Hello, I am a newbie to leatherworking and sewing and am interested in purchasing a sewing machine, mainly for dog collars, belts and rifle slings. I've been watching the local paper for used machines to start out with and found one for a Singer Sergers, "industrial style". I read the pinned topic on machines but I didn't really understand much because I am not very experienced with machine sewing. Is it worth following up on this ad? There's no specific information about the machine so I was wondering what I should be asking for and what answers I need. I understand the necessity of a walking foot machine, if it isn't can they be modified usually? Thank you in advance for any help.
