I am currently looking at a Janome 6600P sewing machine for my wife for a chrissie presant. I've been told it handle leather well. It's $1800 reduced from $2800. Any one used one, have a coments. It'l be fine for her work, but will it be a reasanable leather machhinne. I only sew thin leathers from kangaroo up to proberbly 2.5 mm. Mostly wallets and key cases. Any info before I waste my economic bonus will be greatly apreciated. Darryl

Hi Marilyn and welcome to OZ. I to have just started a class at the local Baptist church, got hood winked as well. "Chat & Choose" is run as a community service. I had 6 women and 2 men, all over 60, I guess. They all started with and two finished a bookmark. This is because I am new to this and my brain gets a bit fuzzy. But all went well and I'll be back there Tuesday. Leatherwork is also taught, used as therapy/ rehab at our local hospital. Darryl

I put down a centre line, then disect it, with the size of the letter you are using, ie 1/2". Then use 1/2 of the letter size as spacing, ie 1/4". Then repeat. Darryl
