Carrieanna1172 Report post Posted August 8, 2014 I see from browsing this is a topic discussed often and it seems as though there are lots of different opinions but I will ask anyway. I sew textiles a lot so I am not new to sewing but don't have much experience sewing leather. I have several machines that say they are capable but they struggle with the thin stuff so will need t buy a new one Anyhow I want to sew messenger bags, rucksacks backpacks that sort of thing maybe the occasional wallet and belt? tool belt , knife sheath etc no saddle work etc I have recently used upholstery thread but am told the 3200 may not operate well with that small of a mil Any suggestions I really like everything I have read and seen about the 3200 cowboy but probably overkill anyone used know about the CB 227?
