Thank you. Most of what I make is under 1/4" and not made for heavy work. Mostly just headstalls & breast collars but it may not hurt to have a machine that will handle more.

Hi all, I have been make horse tack for about 4 years now and hand stitching everything. Although, I enjoy hand stitching, my work load has increased quite a bit so now I find that it would really be nice to have a machine to help with the sewing. I would probably not sew anything over 3/8" thick but I would like a walking foot machine with reverse. Trying not to break the bank so any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks so much!

I am making tack for barrel racers. They love their sparkle so I am using ring spots with flat back crystals. The spots have tabs on the back to hold the crystal in place and right now I have to set the crystal in and bend the little tabs over with a needle nose pliers. Takes forever. Is there a tool made for this or maybe some other clever trick to do it faster that I don't know about. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
