I have read through some of the past posts regarding sewing machines that fursuiters should look into if buying a new (or otherwise) machine.
However, my budget and options are a bit limited. With regards to that, I recently won an Amazon giftcard and would like some opinions if any of the machines I have found and read about are any good. Thew reviews can be rather bipolar so it is really hard to sift through everything.
This is a list of what is within my budget that I came across, but I am open to other options:

Additionally, if none of them are even worth bothering over, I can just continue to use the family sewing machine and hope it doesn't finally kick the bucket (it sure sounds like it is about to). I am in no rush whatsoever.
I would also like to mention that I mostly work on smaller fur projects like costume tails and sleeves. I am hoping to be able to do some leather projects as well if possible (deerskin leather, so nothing too heavy).
Again, if all of those are s**t and not worth it, just tell me because I only have experience with one sewing machine and I can't tell the difference with just a few images and reviews. I plan to visit a fabric store eventually as well, but it wont be for a few weeks as I do not currently live near one.
