Although an industrial sewing machine is not required, it is highly recommended. We have found that semi-industrial machines do quite well with our thinner leathers (Janome HD9 or Juki TL18), and some of the high-end Berninas sew through it with no problems at all (Bernina 500 series & above). Each student is required to know the capabilities of their sewing machine and only use materials their machine can handle.
No matter which machine you are using, a walking foot is essential for the success of your Banda Bag.
**Due to nonstandard box size, all leather kits will be shipped via UPS**
