what is the best sewing machiene to use on leather & heavy canvas webbing.?
After reading your thread I decided to drop yo a line. I have two sons serving in Afghanistan as medics in the RAMC. They both carry in excess of 90 Lbs in kit I have started to buy heavy duty webbing straps & reinforce the same with strands of leather. I have to do all of this using a hand punch & Cobblers thread. As both my sons carry medic packs which add to the weight of the kit they carry it is a problem. Is there a good sewing Machine that can cope well with the demands of sewing multiple layers of leather & webbing layers (pouches) and to reinforce the belt kits they need to carry to aid their injured comrades in theatre. The "issue" packs are simply not up to standard as they rip its like putting a weeks shopping in a bag made from toilet role. as one of my lads said. So, can you please help. I will admit to having little experience with heavy usage of sewing machine's.
Nothing but a cobblers machine will go through multiple layers of leather and/or canvas. Have you tried the backpack materials? They don't weigh s much as leather but are quite heavy duty and it would be easier and cheaper to make them repeatedly from that fabric. You might ask a local shoe repair guy if he has an old machine you can buy or if he can order you one from his wholesaler. If you tell him what it's for he might give you a deal or possibly even for free. It's worth a shot anyhow!
