Leather Sewing Machine Questions for you that know what I'm looking at.

Recommended Posts

There is an upholstery shop close to me that is closing down, and I was going to list the machines here to see if any of them will fit my needs.

 

I am always looking for a reasonable 'extra' machine that will sew garment leather, bags, and machines that will sew up to 2 pieces of 8 ounce saddle skirting.

 

Will any of these machines work for leather? 

 

Singer:

W107W3 ,  107-W-1 , 112W115 , and a  251-2

And

JUKI DDL-5550

 

I almost know the Juki is no good for my use, because they used it to sew large piece of canvas and it's not a walking foot machine.  However, what about any of the Singers?

The 107w1 is a belt driven zig zag machine. I have one and it does a nice straight stitch too.  It goes through heavy canvas and soft, grosgrain type leather 3mm without too much trouble but I wouldn't do anything heavier.
