I did a search and didn't see anything relating to these Chinese machines. I'm sure there have been something on them. What I'm wondering is what has been done to modify and improve upon them. For just a once in a while/ hobby user, and for the money it does beat hand stitching when one suffers from arthritis in the hands. I mainly would like some input on what one can do to better the walking foot as it does mare the leather the way it is. I tried sanding down the teeth but then it doesn't want to move the leather through.
