Art Report post Posted March 24, 2009 We have covered this over and over. Those home machines on eBay, "Industrial Strength", and "For Leather" will not work for holsters, they are not and never were "for leather" at all. You will need a 441 or 205 short or long cylinder arm machine to do holsters. Hand stitch till you can save up enough to buy one, it will help you save faster. Read the past posts in the Leather Sewing Machine forum and look at the pictures and drool a little, it will help you save faster. Art Thanks to so many here I am learning a lot.
