I'm excited! I've needed a really good heavy duty sewing machine for leather to take the next step with our little business. The problem is a good one starts around $1700 new. Good used ones are less, but hard to find. But, Abba!

I voiced my need to the men in our clan and a brother said, 'I think I know where one is...' Long story short and a seven hour round trip drive, this used German made beast of a jewel was in his extended family and I was able to pick it up for just $400! Retail is $2700, used is $1200+... but, ABBA! ?

Sew, now to learn the ins and outs of this 1700 stitch per minute fireball! (I do have a good bit of sewing experience, so it's not all uphill. ..)
