workingmanleather Report post Posted January 19, 2014 OK I bought the machine from an older gentleman that worked a lot in car upholstery. Thinking I could potentially use it for holsters. I had the machine serviced at industrial sew tec in cincy. He put a new motor on and went over the whole machine, said it was in very nice shape and hadn't been used much. Knowing nothing about a machine myself I wanted to consult a professional. Well when it came to sewing my holsters it would go through both pieces but would skip a stitch here and there. When using one piece of 9-10 oz. It sewed through flawlessly. It would be a great machine for either an upholster or someone doing light leather garments or wallets. I am looking to get what I have invested which is $600 I prefer pick up I live between Dayton and Cincinnati Ohio but am willing to ship if you pay freight I may move a little on my price but sew-tech said they would ask 1000 for the machine after they serviced it and put on the new motor anyway if interested please message me and I will answer any question I can I can also send pics via email or text thanks for looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imstephenjones Report post Posted January 24, 2014 You should check out the Pfaff 1245. I have one, and it's great going through two layers of 10oz leather. I found mine on government liquidations, you may have some luck there. It's also a walking foot. You can find 3mm+ (1/8") compensating feet for it from the UK. I am interested in your Pfaff. I'll PM you with contact details. Looking for a smaller Pfaff for my wallets. Tired of using my Brother needle feed. I need that walking foot strength!
