Members materbona Posted October 14, 2010 Members Report Posted October 14, 2010 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"! Quote

CowboyBob Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 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.
