What is the max leather thickness this machine will sew, Bob?  I am comparing several machines and can pick up a 118 head only for $200. I saw in the PDF of the Manual what table I will have to find but I did not see anything about thickness and the current owner doesn't know. 

Thanks for being such an amazing resource!

My old 118 will happily sew through 5/16", but will sew up to 3/8" to go over seams without issues.  Anything more than that isn't what I'd call "graceful".  The presser foot lifts 1/2".  It's great for garments, chaps, purses, etc.--not veg tan belts, or knife sheaths, though.  The most I ask from mine is to go through 3 layers of chromexcel (and that's pushing it).  Great old machine, but might be too light for dog collars, definitely too light for halters.  I'm sure a lot depends on how it's set up.

Hope that helps...

I picked up the 118 and ordered thread, needles, servo, and some missing parts from Bob. Also ordered a CB3500. Wow- was that a chore to get in the house by myself!!!  I am excited to get everything put together and start using both machines, but first I have to catch up on grad school. Sewing with my new machines will be my reward for mastering Braille. Sigh- it could be a while. 

Thank you for your input, Jen!
