Hey, I am considering buying one of these machines. I have not looked at them yet and don't know anything about them. I would like to get something that can sew leather (belts, wallets, etc.).

I think they are asking $200 each. Assuming they work, are they something that I should consider?

Don't buy these. You will want a triple feed machine. (May take some internet browsing to learn to identify triple feed)


The singer in the photo appears to be a bottom-feed lockstitch machine. (Bottom-feed won't feed sticky materials)
The Lewis is not a lockstitch machine at all. Maybe a blind hemmer?


 

friquant. Like a frequent, piquant flyer.
