Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Loudcherokee said: Can ya'll recommend an affordable machine capable of stitching 207 in 16 ounces of leather that is under the $500 mark? I cant justify $2k on a machine that is right now just a hobby. Check with any saddlery shops or long time leather makers. They may have a retired harness stitcher that will do the job. See if you might could find a Singer 42-5. Mine could be available, but I'm in mid-Michigan and won't ship it. When the dust settles on this, I would leave feedback on the Amazon page where you bought the machine so others know what not to expect from it. Does the seller even offer replacement parts, like the presser foot you ruined? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stitcher was a gift so I'm not 100% sure who the seller was. LC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
