what kind of sewing machine i should get?
industrial sewing machine that will be able to go through even leather? or, how about the ones that are strong enough for canvas?
FYI, i am not trying to make money; it is a project i have been wanting to finish for awhile for both myself and the riders i chill with.
thank you for all your info and help
My wife's got 2 sewing machines and sews leather and duckcloth bags, has been making clothes and bags for years. She almost went to an industrial, but you are limited on stitch types, I believe. Anyways, she's working on a special order messenger bag, so you can always email her and she'll probably help out.
