Members RememberingGS Posted December 28, 2019 Members Report Posted December 28, 2019 I was wondering if this machine will work fine for belts and wallets, budget and space limited. Thanks Quote
kgg Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 It should work find for that purpose but since you are in the US why not go to your local home depot and get the Reliable Barracuda saving on the price and shipping. kgg Quote
kgg Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 I should have added for belts it depends on how thick of leather you are sewing. kgg Quote

Ive never used a sewing machine before, ive always hand sewn. Thanks for your time. Quote
kgg Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 If you order directly from Reliable they can set the machine up to handle V138 but as it comes it will handle V92 top and bottom. The needle system for the machine is 135x17 but you will need 135x16 needles sized to the thread size for leather. So for V92 I would use size 19 needle.

Thank you. What part of Ontario are you from? I'm just outside of Barrie and looking for a source locally (Ontario) that would have this machine. Quote
