Members Anne Bonnys Locker Posted February 27, 2014 Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 I would suggest you talk to someone like Bob at Toledo as he is going to sell you what you need based on your requirements. Same goes for all of the dealers who participate here because if you are not happy then we are the people you are going to tell! There are many sewing machine dealers but very few specialise in leather. Quote Darren Brosowski
Members BDAZ Posted February 27, 2014 Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I started off with a Singer version of that Janome and with a leather needle and walking foot accessory, it IS useful for somethings including stitching light weight veg tanned and garment leathers. You are limited to home sewing threads and needles and the stitch is far from decorative. I recently purchased the Cowboy 3200 from Bob Kovar at Toledo and it has changed my life. Attached is a picture of a recent comission for a guitar strap made on the 3200. If you can't afford a good used walking foot machine that won't mar the leather then hand stitching is in your future. Don't waste your money on anything less. Cya! Bob Edited February 27, 2014 by BDAZ Quote
