Leila Report post Posted November 13, 2013 Hello again, Well I have been sewing away on my singer 281, it is a good machine, but I now need to sew thicker leather and want to invest in a walking foot, but have no idea where to start. My singer skips stitches and shreds the thread when I try and go through any more than 3 layers of the medium weight cow hide that I have been using, and I need to be able to sew through up to 5 preferably. I also need it to handle a thicker harder strap leather but without eating up the softer stuff. If I could get pointed in the right direction I would be most appreciative. Thank You, Leila Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
