DieselTech Report post Posted September 28 I will say I am just a newbie when it comes to sewing leather with a machine. I looked at this machine in the beginning & asked a few questions about it & similar machines. I think most of them machines are set up with a binder attachment. So it might require a feed dog & throat plate change. Additional money required for accessories. What was your intended use & the thread size you plan on using?

Nanamagic Report post Posted September 28 I have making totes, purses, wallets etc.. have been hand sewing for 3 years but illness is interfering with this. Thank you for your thoughts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted September 28 The model number gives it away, it is a clone of the Pfaff 335. The 335 is primarily sold as a binder, the one I found searching is set up for that, as DieselTech said, and won't be suitable for what you want to sew. What you need is a standard upholstery-class machine, probably a flatbed. Keep looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlZilla Report post Posted September 29 Look closely. I seem to recall that some of these binding machines don't have a regular drop feed motion, but instead the feed dogs just just go front to back. I don't know why this is advantageous for binding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
