    new challenge - find a sewing machine

    after all the ups and downs with trying different manufacturers i have come to the conclusion - if you want to create something new, you have to do it yourself! next step in this approach is to find a used industrial sewing machine.

    challenges:
    - i don't have a clue about industrial sewing machines .. what it needs to have, what is good, what is bad
    - i need one that handles heavier canvas but could also do t-shirt material .. can everyone do that?
    - how much does a used one cost? what is a reasonable price?

    anybody have any experience with this and some words of wisdom or advice?

    crafted from re-used australian materials, songlines' products inspire you to explore their past and create their future ... bags with a story. the start of the journey.

    the name 'songlines' was inspired by the dreaming tracks of indigenous australians, which are invisible paths across the land (or, sometimes the sky) which mark the route followed by a localized 'creator-spirit' during the dreaming. The paths of the songlines are recorded in traditional songs, stories, dance, and painting ... I want my bags to pass on similar stories :-)
