Hi--I am Shirley from NC. I am interested in all sorts of sewing but am new to leather. I have several pretty old singers which could hand very light leather. I have a lot of scraps given to me and have been referred by another machine collector to the Tippmann Boss. Is it a pretty good starter machine? I also don't have a lot of room because of my other machines! Comments would be welcome. Thanks and "hello, y'all"!

Hi and welcome to Leatherworker.net!

Glad you found us; pull up a chair and tool a while. We have a forum dedicated to sewing leather, and another for sewing machines. You might do a little reading in those forums and discover what your machines are capable of. Ah....almost forgot...we LOVE pics, so as you progress in your hobby, post some pics.

to the forum.The Tippman is a good starter machine as long as you can figure out how to sew with one hand & it doesn't take up alot of room.

But for alittle more$$ you can buy a real cast iron & steel machine that will last alot longer & be easier to operate since the motor will run the machine & noy your hand.
