Viking 33-10

[02indian]

I found a Viking industrial 33-10 that needs love, thoughts on this machine? Will it do a straight stitch? I know it’s mainly for fabric but will it sew leather? I don’t know anything about this machine or if you can still get parts for it but I’d sure like to bring it back to life just because I think it’s a cool old machine. 
thanks

That is NOT an industrial sewing machine! It is strictly for household cloth sewing. However, it will probably handle small pieces of thin chrome tan leather, up to about 4 ounces. You might need to change to a Teflon foot though.

Parts may or may not exist anymore.

In the future, ignore any sewing machine described as Industrial Strength. It is an advertising come-on and is false. A sewing machine is either industrial or domestic.

Finally, all replies in the Help Wanted section need a moderator's approval before they are unhidden. You will get better assistance in the Sewing Leather forums.

I’m not sure how I unhid my question, I’m still having trouble moving through this site and figuring it out
