I am a relatively new to sewing but want to sew some leather tool holders( a prototype for my brother.) I have a basic sewing machine ( Baby Lock Denium Pro) but if I wanted one that could do very heavy materials such as leather, where and what would I look for? I would like to purchase used but what should I look for in a machine that does heavy material and what would be a ballpark of a price I should expect to pay. I have read other posts about the type of needles, etc but I assume the job would be easiest with a commercial machine(if that is what you would call it.) I also want to repair horse blankets so it would get some use.
