I see all of these wonderful DIY projects and think to myself "I could handle some of that" but I dont have the time to hand sew. I really know nothing about sewing machines at all, but I do know that I want to find something used, affordable, and rugged. I know, its a lot to ask. I am hesitant to buy a machine off ebay because of my ignorance in the subject. I need something that will sew through two layers of soft leather, but will mainly be used on jackets, denim, and things like that. Im thinking of hitting up local flea markets but even there I dont know what I am looking for, one machine is as good as another to the untrained eye. Any input from you talented DIYers would be appreciated.
