Need Help With Sewing Machines. Please Read

[Seiji]

Hello,

I am looking for the best machine to sew really thick leather.

I have always sewn by hand and haven't had much luck sewing though thick leather with my singer 17-16 machine. the needle always breaks or the stitches come out uneven.

Is there any recommended machines?

I have heard walking foot machines are good. any ideas??

(I make mostly, bags, cases, wallets, belts etc...)

Thanks!!

In the sewing machine section of the forums you will find a thread on this subject. Another thing will be to clarify what type of leather , and what the sewn items are being used for.. There is no do it all machine, some are better suited for certain situations than others. Knowing what you intend to use it for will help those advising you.
