Cowboy Outlaw Sewing Machine
| Curious about anyone’s experience with the Tandy Pro Cowboy Outlaw. Looking to buy a sewing machine that is truly built for leather. Tandy claims it will sew up to 11/16” leather which is well more than I need. And at the price point it is WAY below an electric machine designed for heavy weight materials like 2 layers of 8-10 oz leather. Currently I do everything by hand. Punching stitch holes and stitching, but it is VERY time consuming and also puts a lot of stress on my hands and finger joints. I’m not arthritic but I can certainly see how hand stitching several hundred stitches a day could cause issues down the line. Is a machine like this worth it as an entry level alternative to hand stitching? Can’t afford $3-5k for an electric machine as I am just starting out taking commissions, but I don’t want to be stuck hand stitching forever either. Thoughts? Pro’s? Con’s (OTHER than the fact it’s hand operated 1 stitch at a time!) [link] [comments] |
