Members austinb Posted April 23, 2014 Members Report Posted April 23, 2014 Hey all, So I am in the market for a used machine. Below are some I have been looking at and would love your feedback http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/app/4435454478.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/hvo/4389689661.html http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/art/4409158721.html Quote
Members Itch Posted April 23, 2014 Members Report Posted April 23, 2014 Well it would help a bit if you told us what are you looking to sew ... what weight and so on.. Quote
Members LTC Posted April 23, 2014 Members Report Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) yeah without knowing what you're trying to make then any of those would be great. lol (or all equally unsuitable either way haha) Edited April 23, 2014 by LTC Quote
Members austinb Posted April 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2014 My apologies. It would basically just be simple things like wallets, small clutches, etc. Nothing large. The largest thing it would be used for would be canvas bags will some leather trim. Quote
Members Jimbob Posted April 24, 2014 Members Report Posted April 24, 2014 Forget abot the Singer Shoe patcher...can not make large stitches and will not work on thicker leather...the Consew walking foot will be able to do light wallets and canvas bags....thats pushing it...all else needs a good leather stitcher....like a Cowboy, a large Adler or some Adler clones...not cheap but will be a money maker for many moons to come !! Look for a good used Singer 211 or 111...walking foot, they can do little wonders but 138 thread is most you can use on top !!... Go into the Sewing machine section here on this forum....tons of answers !! Jimbob Quote
