As much as I love the lifestyle out here, I do miss how easy it was back in the states to find virtually whatever you want and get it delivered the next day without any hassle. Appreciate all the great feedback, just hope I can find what I'm looking for or I may just have to wait until we go back and pay for the extra luggage allowance. At least I'd have plenty of time to look out for a bargain on Craigslist then.

I probably should have mentioned that I've been living in India for about 5 and a half years and only really visit the States now for a few weeks each year to catch up with friends. I have used Craigslist before since I've been away to order small items that I can then collect from a family member once I go back and visit. Unfortunately we might not even make it back this year and a sewing machine is a little bulky for bringing in our luggage anyway. Have been looking for a similar site over here to see if I can find somewhere that delivers to Delhi. Found this site for used sewing machines http://www.for-sale.in/ so far but there's not a great choice so will continue looking.

Hey guys, we're doing a bit of a makeover in our house and are going to start with the living and dining areas. Pretty much all of our sofas and chairs have some kind of rip or tear in them so I wanted to set about repairing and recovering where necessary. I have reasonable ability and am keen to hone my skills so want to try and do as much as possible myself. I need some recommendations on a machine that I can use with both leather and upholstery that's within my $400- $500 budget. Any suggestions?
