I need a machine for preferably around $200 for doing some stitching on 10-12 ounce leather straps.
Im a firefighter and have always been into custom leather goods like Radio Straps and suspenders for my gear. Im starting to make my own and have been doing stitching by hand for a few now. With it being such long pieces even doing half at a time it takes forever. I need recommendations for a machine to do stitching on a 10-12 ounce strap for around $200 preferably cheaper is better. I thought about doing the cheap Chinese one on amazon but the stitching ive seen looks shotty and I want to keep high quality look. Right now Im using ritza tiger thread .8mm so i would need to use a thread that looks comparable to thickness when done. Thank you foe your suggesttions.
