Affordable Leather Sewing Machine

This is a review of the TuffSew, AKA: Thompson Walking Foot Sewing Machine. I was not paid for this review and this is done purely for information purposes around these machines. I made a complex leather bag project with the machine, plus go over the accessories on the market for these machines and the various names they are often marketed under.
TuffSew's website can be found here: tuffsew.com/
Leather sewing machines come in all shapes, sizes and prices and this machine is more affordable than most. However, that affordability means that might not be as powerful or have the same presser foot clearance, or even harp space. Even so, depending upon your needs they can be a great option so therefore the machine is absolutely worthy of consideration.
The TuffSew is a portable walking foot sewing machine that has a small speed reducer that has a belt system that attaches to a bolt on domestic sewing machine 1.5 amp motor.

You are definitely skilled at what you do. I'm still glad I bought the sailrite instead of a cheap knockoff

I picked up a TuffSew 9" zigzag used earlier this year off facebook market place for 250. I was hoping to find a used sailrite but none seem to be around. All Sailrite stuff works with the TuffSew. I upgrade my machine with the WorkerB motor. I printed the stitch length switch plate from thingiverse. I added a light inside over the foot. I threaded the holes so I could add the swing away binding attachment. It also seemed to be missing a spring for the stitch length lever so I popped a spring back in there so the lever would bounce back to the up position. I was one of those people who had only a couple of projects in mind. I figured if I found myself using it more than I thought I could upgrade later to a real sailrite. At this point though the machine works really well. I am very pleased with what I got. The last thing I might do is put it into some kind of table but I really like that I can pack it away when I won't be using it. To call it portable.. is a bit of a stretch. It is super heavy and current lives on my kitchen table. It is a pill to pick up and put away. Your video was lovely.

Thank you. Sounds like you went all the way. I only have the smaller 7 inch, but If I was going to do it over again, I would go your route. Thank you for sharing your experience and glad that you enjoyed the video.

Subbed I just picked up a Singer 111g 56 and a Rex 607 just to start a hobby shop mostly duffel bags, rucksack, tarps, tackle bags and gun cases ect. Something I can still do well into my 80s if my memory stays healthy At 61 carpentry just isn't fun anymore

[@viadango]

Does the 111G156 have the external puller system? The Rex 607 is exactly like my Tuff Sew. The 111G156 is an unusual and semi rear machine.

Great Vid! You make a lot of sense!! Thank you!

[@rndea100]

[@RicardoAman]

Hi what is the price on a leather walking foot machine

[@WV591]

if i had known about these, i would have bought one instead of singer HD

[@margiecastonguay517]

How do you slow it down mine is so fast and so loud it scares me

[@JD-pc6so]

How thick of leather can it sew?

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

This is a domestic machine with some bells added. The real question, what’s beefed up inside? Leather on the Kenmore these look like will wreck the timing. I just want to know the differences…

[@minutemenapparel]

Is your forward and reverse max stitch length equal? Mine is not.
