I had one from the late 40s and found it to be lacking when it came to really heavy stuff. I don't sew very often but usually require heavier thread and needles than those machines can run, a Juki DDL 8700H does the trick for me.
Which is also not appropriate for above since it just has forward and reverse.

I use a 1950s Singer 201k, it’s all metal, basic forward and backwards with adjustable stitch length but makes perfect and consistent stitches and will go through thick leather and canvas no problem.
It’s like an old Swiss watch. Never wanted for any thing newer. The quality of build is outstanding
