I've had some heavy stuff sewn by a saddle repair shop or a boot repair shop for little or nothing. Wasn't worth justifying buying one so I just asked around. Title: Re: SEWING MACHINES Post by: RockinW on May 28, 2010, 09:41:09 pm a big one is right, but not a boot sole stitcher (the biggest machine most shoe shops have) or really old saddle machine. They are great for leather, but use a hooked needle that will hang up in any type of fabric or woven material like nylon webbing. You'll probably need a fairly modern one. Adler, Juki, and Ferdinand all make saddle/harness machines, but expect to pay about 5 grand for the big ones (new). I have an Adler 205-370 that will sew most anything you run across up to near 3/4" thick
(not for sale though) Title: Re: SEWING MACHINES Post by: preacher1 on May 30, 2010, 11:03:59 pm My mother had a power sewing machine that could be used for sewing thicker material. She passed in 2008 and my dad still has the machine . I think it is a Juki but I'm not sure. If your interested in buying I can find out how much he'd take for it.
