I've got a Bernina that will sew thru almost anything I can get in it. I hemmed my hubby's jeans the other night and it sewed through 3 rolls of denim at the seam like it was butter. I've got some sheepskins on the way to work on another project soon and it shouldn't be a problem, either. Not cheap, but they'll be with you forever and work almost as hard as our horses : )
Suzi and well dressed Holly

I bought a Riccar 707, 20 years ago (time flies), I sew on a weekly basis. I bought it because you could get 12 layers of denim through it (barely). I fix anything I can get under the presser foot. ANd sometimes sew for the public. Only had one repair on it in all that time. Japanese made (I paid 700$) for it then.It actually costs about the same now. Best machines are European, (viking , Pfaff, Huskuava(sp?), etc. Second best are Japanese made, then everything else. Laurie
