After reading about mahcines for the last few weeks, I have a better idea of what I'm after. work that will be done is wallets, bags, belts etc. nothing thicker than 8mm (max), mix of chrome and vegtan
I'm looking at two machines, both cylinder arm. Both now have servo motors.
Seiko LSC-8BLV-1
and
Seiko LCW-8BL-1
My main question is do you think they would be suitable for the work required? Foot clearnace seems ok etc.
Secondly the seiko manuals say both are #22 needle machines, meaning thread size 135 in tex. I'm asuming they will take others needle sizes too, but how do I find this out? I think 135 tex would suit most of my work but I'd like the option of somthing a little thicker. Is this possible?
Apologies, I'm very new to sewing machines and trying to wrap my head about all the different models available.
