Of course the best machine for the thicker materials
would be an upholtery machine but.........I can't
afford one so I got one of those really old, big
black, iron, singers (when they first came out in
electric) and it will sew anything I have tried so
far.  I make layers of winter blankets such as
codura,fiberfill,wool and nylon PLUS putting the
binding on the whole shabang.  I have trouble finding
needles and thread that will not break, and I get the
industrial needles.  Machine keeps going but needles
do not so.............I just buy a lot of needles when
sewing those kinds of blankets or when someone needs
leather stuff.  Even leather needles break with my
machine.  OH by the way I paid $10 at a yard sale for
the machine.
