Cowgirlup8807 Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I have just started making my own bridles, halters, breast collars etc. I currently use an old 70's Singer sewing machine to do the stitching and while it works OK, I am looking for suggestions of what sewing machine to step up to for more professional looking results. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chriscraft Report post Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I'm also new to leather sewing. I had purchased a 1952 Singer 111W walking foot machine with upgraded gear reduction servo motor that worked great for 8 oz. thickness weight leathers. I decided to step up and sew heavier weight leather and use larger thread in order to build motorcycle/bike seats that look professional made. I too needed a heavy duty leather sewing machine. It was a large invertment and also knowing I still had not sold a single leather good item but had faith in my talent and future leather product. I purchased a 441 clone sewing machine built by Cobra Steve. I'm very happy that I did take that plunge. Edited July 8, 2013 by chriscraft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dawg Club Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I have a Adler 867 thats smooth as silk. I lucked out and bought a used one at an AWESOME price. Has a foot lift height of 20mm, which is perfect for collars I make. Good luck on your hunt! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
