Hi all, I am new to this, leather crafting and have decided to get a Sewing Machine, I have had the latest singer sewing machine and after a few days use it decided to break on me, so I have read up that the older treadle machines are built to last, actually my grandma has one (but doesn't use it anymore) but still work even without maintenance. so here is my question, what is the best Treadle Machine for leather works? what I want to do is Cowboy hats (for sun protection), IPhone Wallet, Belts, Jackets, Antique Repairs (Seat Leather Replacement), Carry Case bags, laptop leather protector, and more. I am not looking at becoming a Producer, but I just need something that can stich things together quicker then hand, if it looks acceptable and works I am Happy. I read about the 29k, which is something I like, but so many models I am confused, what is the best model, Large bobbin, etc? I just hate the fact that is not in a desk transform and would be easy to store, but if that is the best then maybe I should go for it. I do not trust Motors anymore as I have been burnt so many times, even with an Antique one, (that was about 20 years ago), I forgot the model number as my mum got it for me. another I heard about is the Adler 30-7. Any help would be appreciated, I can do a lot of light work by hand, but Machine is always quicker.
