While reading up on my 31-20 Singer, they were saying how it was used a lot for sewing boot uppers (cowboy boots) with a wheel roller foot for the decorative stitching and boy can they make pretty uppers. Probably any straight stich machine heavy enough could do that. Your walking foot could do it but that is mostly for straight stitching the way I understand it, not curvy designs.

Would the Singer 5532 with a walking-foot work, a brother brand or Juki brand be a solid investment, Im not willing to pay $3 for a machine just yet?
