I'm a seamstress and have several sewing machines. For leather works, I usually use the Tippmann Boss machine, which is extremely strong and punches through even very thick leather. I think this advanced machine is more for those who do leatherwork and are not hobbyists. In addition to Tippmann, I have Janome MB-4S embroidery machine I am very excited about. All my relatives have named clothes: hats, scarfs, handkerchiefs etc. Such unique outfits always become highly-appreciated presents.
