I keep meaning to post about this, but just haven't managed to do it.
I splurged, and bought myself a really nice, heavy-duty sewing machine. Not a $2,500 industrial model, that comes bolted to a table and has a motor that needs to sit in a gallon of oil. But I've tried it with leather, in the way that I use it (multiple layers, multiple textures and stretchy-ness, with and without support of some kind inside), and it will be perfectly adequate to my needs.
It's a Juki - the brand our instructor kept saying was the best - and it works really well for garments, too. I'm finishing up a shirt in the next few days, and my sewing has never been this precise before.
On the other hand, it only does a straight stitch. What do I do when I want to make buttonholes?
