I don't do a lot of leather work, occasional knife sheaths, small holsters. I'm just a hobbyist. I would like to do a belt but I only hand stitch and don't want to attempt a belt that way. I seen this machine on FB and was wondering if anyone has seen one of these or know if it would be good for my projects. Btw, I only work with veg tan and my thickest stuff is usually about 1/4" thick. Thanks for any help!

The simple answer is it will not be suitable for leather work. This is a drop feed  machine made for sewing fabric at high speeds.
