Necchi Q132A really is good choice for leather and canvas to beat...This Necchi heavy duty is ok, i've got one and its done a lot... but i turned to my mom's mom's Kenmore 77 when i needed to sew up my canvas hot-tent.

 

I have always been a fan of Singer sewing machines and this model is definitely one of their best models. It has 90 built-in stitches and when you need to make a button hole, simply use the automatic button hole foot and make the button hole the size and shape you need. It has a 4-step buttonhole and it is easy to use. This machine is also easy to take along with you if you need to travel because it is so lightweight. There are also a lot of accessories available for this machine. This model is great for both beginners and experienced sewers.
