Would a JUKI DNU 241H be able to sew through 3/8" of veg tan leather? I mostly make gun holsters, but I also make some wallets and belts. Up to this point I have done all the sewing by hand, but I would love to have some machine assistance. I have found a used Juki DNU241H locally that has not been used in about 10 years. I just wonder if it is worth risking the money to get it fixed up or should I just save up and spend the money on a new machine. She is asking $400 for the JUKI, but I bet I could get it for around $300. Any advice would be helpful. I am new to these forums, but have been making holsters by hand for about 3 years. I have learned a lot from you and really appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
