What do you use

[Doc Reaper]

What do you use to sew wallets, purses, and the like. Please use a simple answer and not a long winded response 

I need to know the machine and model number, needle size, thread size, and clearance 

I’m told if I get real answers my puppy won’t pee on my rug

Two hands - models LH and RH - a pair of John James 004s and some 0.8mm Ritza 25. Good luck with the puppy.

I hand stitch when I have to otherwise I use my Cobra 4. The Cobra will sew up to 7/8 of an inch thick . I mostly sew wallets, belts and bags and this machine does all well. Needle and thread will depend on what you sew.

An awl, waxed linen and 2 needles.

Bought a machine several years ago. It makes a great table to stack things on.

@Doc Reaper moved to leather sewing machines since that is the original topic.

A class 26 Cobra But Leather machine company is only two hours away form me. You guys have Techsew in Canada? a 2750 pro would be my choice
My light weight leather (up to 8oz stack) is sewn with the class 26 using #69 thread with a #18 needle. Medium weight leather say up to 10-12oz stack is sewn with a #22 needle and 138 thread on the same machine. I avoid hand stitching at all cost.
