I appreciate the responses. I think it's a lot of money to pay for a product from China when the "real deal" isn't that much higher priced I guess I'll look for a used Juki then

When I asked SIECK for more information on their machine, I received this: The Cowboy costs 2950 euro while the SIECK costs only 1550 euro.

Hey folks I'm a complete rookie in this fascinating world of leather work so please bear with me. A couple of months ago I woke up with a inexplicable desire to make toolbelts for myself and my coworkers (carpenters). Never before have I even looked at a sewing machine. What do you guys think will be my best option if I wanna be sewing multiple layers of 12-14 oz. veg. tan leather? I'm not sure what the differences are between the two machines. The Cowboy seems to be a great choice but I can't seem to find any reviews on the model from SIECK. Maybe I need something completely different? Kind regards Kasper.
