Matt Thanks, it does make sense and I know since I got a Singer 491 for free recently. The worst thing is the dog marks, I cannot live with that. Also the speed on this machines is faster than a Bugatti ( already changed the pulley to the smallest one ) . I haven't changed to a servo as it will cost me the same as this machine. I don't plan on sewing a lot as most I do by hand but there are some projects I want to do with thinner materials and occasionally leather

Anyone out there using this machines for leather work? I know this are not meant for it but there are hundreds of reviews drying it does work. Now I'm sure the motor will not sustain a production environment but I'm thinking it could work for some 3-4oz straight stitch? Thoughts?

Hi guys, can anyone share their knowledge on the math used when creating a pattern, lets say for a wallet? What measurements you use? What do you account for, etc Thanks in advance
