FISTERS Hand Machine For Cobblers

While it’s intended for cobblers, this FISTERS leather sewing machine is great for any leather product. Don’t let the tripod design put you off: this sewing machine is competent to sew any pieces of leather that you have on hand, even if they aren’t fully cured.

This machine is designed for the toughest leathers, but it’s precise enough to work it with the same ease that you would a piece of buttery or thin leather.

The exposed machining of the unit can be a bit of a hassle if you plan on using a lot of long spools, however. You’ll need to be careful not to get anything tangled in the open form factor.

On the bright side, this unit is easy to assemble, and is very ergonomically designed.

Seeutek Shoe Repair Leather Sewing Machine

The Seeutek shoe repair machine is an excellent tool for anyone interested in sewing leather together. If you’re ready for long sessions of sewing together pieces of tough or coarse leather, this unit will serve your needs.

The main appeal of the Seeutek machine is that it can match the skill level of the user. If you’re a stickler, the machine will meet your standards for accuracy. If you’re more interested in doing some rapid repair work, the machine won’t get in your way.

These features do make the Seeutek machine a bit difficult for novices to use, however. Because the innards of the machine are exposed and the spool is close to moving parts, you may find that the spools get tangled from time to time if you aren’t careful.

Although these sewing machines are pricier than a small, household machine for sewing cotton, jeans, or thinner fabrics, they are also far more durable, and can easily stitch through the toughest, and heaviest leather materials. Not only will they easily do the job, but these machines include several features, making sewing any leather piece easier, and less time consuming.

If you want quality, durability, and high duty power when sewing leather and thicker fabrics, then you need a sewing machine like the ones reviewed above. Although they do cost more, they will get the job done, and you will never have to worry about ruining the pricey leather pieces you love.
