Members srb008 Posted March 4, 2013 Members Report Posted March 4, 2013 Hello, I've been doing research for a good month or so on different sewing machines and cannot decide on the best choice for us. There are 3 of us friends all in college who tool leather and make belts, we all feel that with a sewing machine we could take this to the next level. We all have other jobs and this is just a side between work and school, so the machine would not be used but a couple days a week for 10-15 min a time at the most. We want to start making wallets, hand clutches, purses, bags, stitched belts and so on. From what I've read because we would be making turns and stuff of that nature a triple feed with the walking foot seems to be a must. Any suggestions on a brand and model or ideas as to where to pick one up at would be greatly appreciated. Don't have to be a cadillac of a machine, just something that produces nice quality work.

Members mikesmith648 Posted March 4, 2013 Members Report Posted March 4, 2013 it would depend on the size of the throat and how thick you want to go.........and the size thread you want to use.......I suggest calling Bob Kovar or Steve at the liknks above and discussing your needs with them to see what type of machine would best suit your needs. They also have used machines but mainly would steer you in the right direction Quote
