Hi,
Im super new to machines. This would be my first one. I wanted to ask you a few questions. I signed up for leatherworker.net and have been reading as much as I could from there, researching what machine I want. The knowledge and responses here were so impressive I wanted to ask. I have an option to purchase either a Consew 226 or a Consew 206RB. Both are priced the same at $450. I make leather bags, purses, fanny packs, etc, around 5oz - 6ozish, stitching by hand. I do want a machine that can sew heavy duty leather incase I decide to go towards heavy leather for totes. I did see someone mentioned the 226 can sew up to 20oz, does the 206RB do 20oz too? Which one would be best? I’m going to attach some photos to show the wear.
Thank you!!
