Members Somiskid Posted September 10, 2020 Members Report Posted September 10, 2020 Howdy ya'll! I need opinions on the consew 226. Is it an OK machine? Can it sew leather for belts and stuff that thick? Any advice or thoughts woukd be awesome! Quote
CowboyBob Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Yes,it's a good machine.Should sew up to 20oz of leather which is 5/16" thick using #138 thread.Parts are easy to get & reasonably priced unlike a Pfaff or Adler.

Members Pintodeluxe Posted September 11, 2020 Members Report Posted September 11, 2020 It's a highly recommended machine if you don't need a big bobbin. I like the top loading bobbin of the 226, and find them durable and easy to keep in service. Quote

Members Pintodeluxe Posted September 13, 2020 Members Report Posted September 13, 2020 Auto upholstery, large projects or production work. With belts and wallets a small bobbin is just fine. Quote
