I had the opportunity to TRY one of the heavy woven type, never again! Too thick, too slow, woven nylon was too dense and gave it back before I cut it up with the needle badly. Tried heavy needles, sharps, large eyes, etc. but the thread would break too often. I suppose with a heavier thread it might succeed, but time was against me. P.

This was what I purchased the machine for but as of yet have not done a halter. I purchased a fast frame hoop as advised by the sales person but I don't think it will work. Halters are very thick web or leather. Any advise would be appreciated.
