i´ve been having this question since i started using my old singer machine (pic related) is it possible, with the right thread and needle, to work with leather in a regular machine?

sewing machines are the best investment if you´re really into fashion, to the extent of garment manipulation and creation, usually modern domestic sewing machines are very useful because they can do lots of stitches and some even embroidery

if you plan on making simple garment manipulations a machine that only makes single stitch would do it but as i said, most of modern domestic machines have multpiple stitches so you can even make quality garments from scrap

i have pic related, i love it even tho it only has single stitch and is at least half a century old, very reliable tho

i give sewing and tailoring advice, its not that much but i get to make things happen with a sewing machine, i might share my skinny trousers patterns

anyone interested?

damn, Cara has some dope sexy legs

for starters small machines are perfect, they´re not so complicated and just does the basic sow, single chain, i have pic related, it has a bigger gap but its old as fuck, i love it

if you still dont understand about thread tension and stuff like that DONT mess with it, it will fuck up your needle and make bird nests in the bottom of the fabric

hey fags, post your machines

mines a Singer ripoff from Japan called Liberty, technically is a very old Singer machine with another name, thinking of copping a Juki

>tfw your old machine is literally falling apart
>tfw friends started to ask you for tapering thier clothes
>tfw you want to make clothes but have no skill ofr that right now

damn, i can see my future as a tailor but i need to buy a new machine

are Jukis worthy? i´ve seen them around and they look fine, should i just fix my old machine?

pic related, but it says Liberty instead of singer and it says made in Japan

can you rate my situation?

>i´m 18 yo with a pretty good amount of free time
>have a really old sewing machine, still works fine (pic related is something very similar)
>fabirc and thread are rather cheap in Mexico
>the market is filled of shitty pleb clothes like Hollister so i guess some regular decent designs to start up would be enough to get a kickstart
>i would make garments by demand
>pretty good skills in sewing and cutting

so wut do you say? should i invest in a new machine? i´m thinking in only making coats first by demand and with close friends then expand and move to jackets, buttoned shirts and dresses

how do you even secure the main thread on it?

looks complicated as fuck, i rather have ye ole Liberty (pic related)

can you open the cover? i think is the same mechanism, also that button on the right switches the speed o the stitch lenght, same happens with the other button on the elft, maybe the one in the right controls the speed and the one in the left controls the stitch lenght
