Thanks, Ron What are the necessary features and what are the col to have features? It seems like the Needle positioning system would be good to have as well as reverse. Hard to know what makes the job the most productive. Thank you Phil

Thank you, I appreciate the information. When I read the description for the CB29 It mentions the foot has teeth on it. The leather I have been working on is dyed already and veg tanned. It seems to mark easily with a finger nail and would not an upper foot with teeth mark the patch on the way by? Thank you Phil

Hi Everyone, New guy here and glad I found this forum. I have a laser engraving business and have been making leather patch hats for a bit. I am researching sewing machines to sew the patches to these hats for durability. I currently have a good system for attaching odd shapes with heat press adhesive. From what I can see using the search function a post machine would be advantageous for this. This is primarily the only leather sewing I see doing. My patches are 3-4oz Veg tanned but may get up to 9 oz. Patch size maybe 3" x 3" Typically. There is a Singer 26K-70 with table and motor for $500 available about 5 hrs from me, or I have looked at the Techsew 810 and 830R as well as the Cowboy and Artisan machines as well. This is a business and so I need something I can hopefully learn quickly and have good support with. Whether forums like this or Youtube videos. Looking seeing and touching don't seem to be very handy to our area. I am willing to travel if needed. Seattle, Portland, Boise are all in range. Used machines are fine just need a good starting point where I am only fighting me and not the machine! I am open to suggestions. I do learn quickly and can put the time in to get proficient. I am located about 2 hours south of Spokane Washington in Idaho and would also be grateful if anyone had something I could see, or would pay for someone's time to give a lesson or two. Thank you Phil
