Members Darren Brosowski Posted June 6, 2016 Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 The Singer 114 is another option! There are also Japanese "Treasure" brand machines that are a 114. I have an Indian built version called the 1114 but it is a bit rough....... Quote
mikesc Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks Darren :)..I'll research them..the more alternatives I have, the better the chances of finding something, even if it is only a "stop gap"..saw one on line ( USA ) that went at auction for just $50.00..another on sale ( condition unknown ) at $450.00, and another that went for $999.00 on US ebay, I presume the heads weigh around 30-40KG, so shipping for any could be a bit of an "ouch"..

Members kayw Posted June 15, 2019 Members Report Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I have seen many Mexican made embroidered belts, gun belts, and holsters and they look very nice. What machines do they use to do this kind of work?

Otherwise, they use a heavy duty programmable commercial embroidery machine, like those made by Melco.

Members chrisash Posted June 15, 2019 Members Report Posted June 15, 2019 I used to have a variety of commercial Barudan and semi pro brother embroidery machines and did the patterns myself We regularly used to use chrome and patent leather often using metallic thread on the barudan with lots of silicon spray to keep it running on leathers Always used ball point needles and on design alternated the spacing of the needle position like a small zig zag pattern to give strength to the leather then do the same with the boundary and three layers of stabilizer, stitches are far to close for leather needles, run at about 100 to 200 spm rather than the normal 800, max in my day 1000spm but even more now days, My 12 head barudan cost £44000 plus vat in the 1980's You really need a experienced designer to use on leather Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
