Members bsshog40 Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM 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! Bobby Quote

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. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
