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.
