<p>Hello. Just throwing another machine into the mix. I have an old Bernina 730 record and it never misses a beat. I picked it up from my local sewing machine repair man for about $200, serviced and ready to go. I have a newer digital Bernina but I only use it for dressmaking. It’s not robust like the old mechanical machines.</p>

<p>I am the owner of SINGER One sewing machine. Use it pretty often and have never had any problems with it. It can be used with different types of fabrics and at the same time, I could say that it’s very simple in use. And its vintage appearance is really good looking.</p>

So that makes me think that your best bet really is ebay. Seriously, my perfectly <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://sewingland.org/best-sewing-machine-for-leather/" target="_blank">good machine</a> was being listed for £10. I'd send it to you if I wasn't in the UK! </span><br/><br/><span>Also, put the word out that you'd like to learn sewing, and I wouldn't be surprised if friends or relatives will 1) offer you a lesson 2) offer to lend you a machine or 3) offer you their old machine like I would. Don't be shy, learning from others is so good because you can ask questions. If you don't any sewers, I'd recommend YouTube, and blogs that focus on your interest (dressmaking, home dec, quilts, whatever). Have fun! </span></p>

<p>Pfaff is an absolute favorite of mine! <br/>I found <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uv9cqPERwDA/TxCPEQB-ZvI/AAAAAAAAAhg/3eUKQT8Dawc/s1600/IMG_0551.JPG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an old Pfaff</a> (made in German) machine for sale a couple of years ago, so I bought it. It's supposed to be a heavy duty machine, not a commercial unit, but built tough. These are the best. <br/>Metal Singers are great too. <br/><br/>As for modern models, well, the heavy duty is a consideration, but a sharp needle and slow pace, so as not to mess up the machine timing, and most quality machines will handle the job. Personally, I use a <a href="https://sewingland.org/best-sewing-machine-for-making-clothes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juki 2000Qi</a>, but I need to mention that it doesn't have a speed control, but I got used to it. Though there's a more advanced one, <a href="https://www.jukihome.com/products/sewing/tl-2010q.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010Q</a>, so if you're interested - go for it. Another dream machine is a <a href="https://sewing.patternreview.com/review/machine/6447" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Consew 226-R</a>, it's a workhorse. As far as I know, It should sew up to 20 oz (5/16") of leather easily. <br/><br/>I hope this may help you.<br/><br/>- Heather</p>

<p>I have many different sewing machines. My favorite is a Pfaff. It rarely breaks on me. I do have an industrial machine that I use for leathers and very heavy material. Since it is a cylinder arm it helps when you can't reach what you are working on with a flat bed. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Also check out the 201. To this day many people believe it has the most beautiful stitch of any machine made. The really old models are straight stitch only, but you can still get attachments that create zigzag and button hole stitches among a lot of others.</p>
