Pepelx Report post Posted August 28, 2016 Hi guys, We are moving back to Spain and are selling our lovely Kenmore 158.17300. Not exactly recommended to work with heavy leather but it had helped us a lot to work with suedes, and thinner pig and goat skins. Also we have used to sew thin 3/4 oz nat veg cow leather. This Sears Kenmore sewing machine is in absolutely perfect condition with no flaws of any kind! It is model 158-17300 manufactured in 1975 and is a zig zag machine, made in Japan of cast metal construction. The machine features straight and zig zag stitching plus 8 built in stitches and 10 drop in cams for pretty decorative stitching. The 1 amp motor was built in Japan. This is a heavy duty machine that will easily sew leather and the thick seams of jeans plus the most filmy silks and light weight fabrics of all kinds and thin leather. The presser foot features the famous Kenmore "extra lift" for navigating extra thick fabrics. The double belt drive gives extra strength to this special sewing machine. This sale includes the original travel case, solid state foot control, owners manual printed and in pdf, button hole attachment, box of 10 decorative stitch drop in cams, and many other accessories (All in pictures) - The machine head is in it's original FLAWLESS paint with absolutely not a single scratch, chip, dent, ding or sign of use at all. I have never seen a vintage sewing machine in this condition. - This one will be handed down to your grandchild, still in perfect working order! - If you have ever done any sewing with a Sears Kenmore machine, you know it is one of the best and quite sought after.
