AzShooter Report post Posted February 11, 2021 I just found a video on this machine, $100 Leather Sewing Machine. I do all my stitching by hand and was wondering if this machine is worth anything? Has anyone tried it as a beginner machine. I primarily make holster of 2 thicknesses of 8 - 9 ounce leather. The machine says it's good for 5 mm which to my calculations should work with about 1 mm to spare. I could be wrong. Would this be $100 thrown away or does anyone think it's worth trying?

Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 11, 2021 If you are referring to a Chinese street cobbler's shoe patching machine, there was a lengthy discussion in January, 2020, about these pieces of stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzShooter Report post Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks. From what I've read I'll stay with hand stitching until I can afford a good machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted February 11, 2021 I would not buy a patcher machine for producing leather goods at all. They are funny machines for sewing this and that and for repairs but not proper production machines for serious and good quality leather goods. There may be niches but basically they were designed for making repairs - mainly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
