bikermutt07 Thanks for all the leads, I'll be checking them out this weekend.

bikermutt07, The Consew RB-1 is the first machine I went and looked at. Unfortunately, it had been dropped of the back of the guys truck, It had a few broken parts, was stored in a filthy dirt shed, and they couldn't get it to sew. So for $900, I said Id pass. Didn't know if it had internal parts broken. If you know where I can find one inSouthern California,Las Vegas area , or Phoenix area. Let me know, I'd like to check it out.

Thanks for the info Primosand.There is a guy in Encino, that has several machines for sale, I am going to try to go look at them Sunday.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'v been lurking for a while and i really would like to get a machine to sew leather, but i am totally lost as to what to get. I have looked at 3 different machines, Feitsew 1156, Pfaff 145-h3-6A1C, and a Consew 225. I want to be able to sew leather wallets, but I would mainly use it to make covers for car and boat wheels and upholstry work on car seats. Any advice from the professionals out there? Thanks
