Hello! My name is Jared, I'm new here, I'm from Texas.
I ask you to share the experience of people who understand sewing machines. I need a sewing machine for a small production of upholstered furniture. I also work with furniture and automotive leather from time to time.
Thanks!

I bought a new Juki about 6 years ago now and it hasn't skipped a beat …..but there are lots of other good brands out there.

Regardless of brand, look for one with a walking foot (preferably triple feed) and has reverse. A servo motor is IMHO better for a beginner then a clutch motor but that can be added after the purchase if you so choose.

I have a Consew 255 RB2 with a Sailrite servo motor and am really happy with it.
