Flattracker Report post Posted February 15, 2014 I joined this amazing forum over a year ago & thought it about time to say hello!! I've been hand-stitching small leather goods for over a year now but the bigger stuff is just a drag. So a machine is the next stage. I've been dipping in and out of Wiz's incredible 8 page post about the types of machines out there which has been invaluable. Today I visited a sewing machine shop and they let me loose on a machine with some different leathers I brought along. It was a Singer 133K8 and to be honest it's a pretty intimidating piece of kit for a first-timer! But what immediately became clear was how it marked up the veg-tan leather on the underside, and quite badly. So at least I now know the machine I need has to be a triple feed when both sides of the leather are on show. Thanks Wiz and hi all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
