If you want to be able to sew thick seams and webbing, or whatever other heavy material (leather, upholstery fabric, vinyl), an industrial walking foot is great. But they're expensive. Probably the two most popular medium-weight walking foots are the Juki 1541 and the Consew 206RB. There's a slightly lighter-weight and cheaper Consew P1206RB as well, but I've never used one.

Industrial drop feed machines (stationary presser foot, like a home machine) like the Juki DDL-8700 are faster and stronger than a home machine, but won't walk over stuff as easily, and are really designed for apparel. So for jackets, they're probably great (but still pretty expensive).

Ideally you can find a used industrial that runs great. That's how I found my Juki 1508. But if you've never used one or are new at sewing, it's probably better to learn on a home machine. Wear out a Singer Heavy Duty, they're only a couple hundred bucks.

You're going to need industrial machines to do anything worthwhile, and those aren't exactly "budget-friendly". I'm not sure what your budget is, but I'm assuming it's small since you put that line in there.

The Juki machine that u/Yost888 recommended actually starts at around $800USD, not sure where he got $350 from, maybe for a used one?

Don't be so sure! I love my Brother cs6000i which I bought on a flash sale for ~$130, but I have my eye on this Nex machine for ~$45 which I don't need. It's just half sized and I think it would be cute for travel (I don't travel that much).

If you're serious about not spending that much, check Craigslist and thrift stores! Happy sewing!
