mooshi Report post Posted October 25, 2017 What is a good and affordable post leather sewing machine? I am looking for something to sew bags and shoes with. Is a walking foot or roller foot better to do most of these things with? Thanks in advance! Mooshi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Techsew Ron Report post Posted October 25, 2017 Most shoe and boot uppers are sewn with a post bed, roller foot machine. You'll likely come across bottom feed machines with a roller foot and top and bottom feed machines with gear driven roller foot. The bottom feed only machines are more affordable but top and bottom feed are better for feeding thicker and more multi layered materials. A post bed walking foot machine is another option but the price on these goes up significantly and they're not really necessary if you're just sewing bags and shoes.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 25, 2017 Mooshi; Here is a product page for a dual feed roller, post bed machine. It is one step up from a bottom feed only roller machine and is better able to pull difficult projects through than bottom feed only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe Report post Posted October 26, 2017 "Good", "affordable" and "post" don't often go together. Machines that meet two out of the three criteria are readily available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
