I'd say go for it!! But I know it's one thing that'll drive you just crazy. Trying to stitch a straight line is one of those crafts that takes patience and practice to get it right. And if you want to get into the heavier cloths or vinyls / leathers , it takes a stout machine. A household unit won't last long if it can do it at all. I re-did our Mustang by myself, but the seat covers I just couldn't get them right so I bought a re-pop set. The coupe I did with my friend Mark, he has all the gear and did the door panels and headliner. I just can't get a straight line!
