Yeah - keep your fingers out of the way. Fortunately, most commercial machines are a little more forgiving than harness machines but they're all potentially dangerous for the uninitiated/careless. I have two lighter duty machines designed for Home Economics programs that will handle 4-5 layers of 1000 denier Cordura without problems so it is possible to work on smaller machines. Look for steel vs. nylon gears and a limited stitch selection. Older Singer or Brother machines will usually serve provided you have the right thread and needles. Check koz's rigger resources, they'll have everything you can imagine including fabric. The only one he overlooked that I've used with good results is www.seattlefabrics.com.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
