Wow thank you so much for all that information. It’s folks like you that make getting into a new hobby less intimidating.

I would like to sew through multiple layers of 2-3 oz leather. I’m getting into making some holsters and wallets for myself and belts and bags for my wife.

Thank you. That’s the information I was looking for. What machine would you recommend for a new person that does this for fun but would like to expand a bit?

I’m new to sewing machines regarding leather work. I found a Highlead GC2698-1 locally for sale. They say that it is in good working order and just needs the bobbin tension adjusted. They’re asking $900 for it. Should I go for it or stay away from it? Thanks in advance from a noob.
