Lu2-4020 Mitsubishi Clone

[Frankqv]

There is an LU Double needle clone (Gemsey) same as sew line sl-4020 locally available locally. Would like to use it mainly for wallets< 6 oz veg tanned.Can i use this as a single needle machine. Could it accommodate 270 thread # 23 needle for 12 to 14 oz veg or chrome for cases,purses.

It has a Clutch that would have to be converted to servo

You can remove one needle and use it as a single needle machine.

It cannot use #277 (T270) thread

It can use a #23 needle, which is right for #138 thread, top and bottom. It can also sew with #207 on top, but only #138 in the bobbin. The hooks in these machines are not made for larger thread. You'll need to move up to a 441 or Adler 205 clone to use #277 thread.
