Pinsplitter Report post Posted March 14, 2013 searching online in Australia i find machines for sale that seem reasonable for leather. i call the sellers and they know almost nothing. then I spend hours trying to find the specs for the machines and usually can't find anything. so these 2 machines, Singer 211 U566A Pfaff 543 anyone know the max thickness, thread size, needle size for these? looking for something to sew 4 thicknesses of 1.2mm standard type leather, thicker would be better of course. thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinsplitter Report post Posted March 14, 2013 i just noticed the Pfaff has a roller foot, does this mean its not a walking foot machine? the seller says its for leather, saddlery, collars, belts etc... i don't believe any of these guys anymore.

leatherdog Report post Posted May 10, 2013 roller foot - the machine is specialized to do a certain stitch, a smooth stitch. while the 543 is related to the 545, it is not a walking foot machine. if you are looking to sew 4 layers, you will want your own specialized situation catered to. a 545, 1245, 145 would be more like it. these are all walking foot machines.
