Hello I have been wanting a sewing machine for sometime an about pulled the trigger on a cowboy 32 but cost is an issue at this time. I found a listing for a Consew 206rb-2 and have been told by seller it will work for what I need. What I want it for is making leather holsters and belts so about 2 layers of 7/8 oz leather will this work for my needs? Here is the discription of the listing.. will it be able to handle like 207 thread?
