Members Happy Hooligan Posted June 6, 2012 Members Report Posted June 6, 2012 first this is the end all of end alls for knowledge on leather sewing machines. It's helped me tons on my quest with these type of machines. But I also have an addiction with other vintage sewing machines that aren't set up for leather sewing (like that cool 95-10) just posted. So I searched the net to find a place to help me with all my other non-leather sewing machines and came up with nothing... There really isn't a forum to discuss the vintage old machines so I did what any obsessed vintage sewing machine collector would do. I made one. Mods, feel free to delete this post if it's not to fit in here, but for the guys who sew leather and say denim or canvas and don't use the super heavy duty machines feel free to check out my forum dedicated just for vintage sewing machines. vintagesewingforum.com and I'd love some of the real experts on sewing machines to stop by from time to time. Your knowledge is priceless! Quote

Some are brand specific, others just geared to vintage machines. Quote
