Thank you Ron. I doubt I would ever sew that thick it's simply to have some headroom and not having to push the machine too hard when sewing normally. Will look into getting a servo motor at a later stage probably or doing a gear reduction done if I'm having too much trouble.

Polite *bump*.

Good day all. Looked up this thread instead of creating a new one. I am looking for a leather sewing machine and I see the consew 206rb recommended from time to time. I have the opportunity to purchase a rb-1 model for roughly $300 although in our local currency it amounts to a bit more. I have also seen it mentioned that it should be able to sew up to 3/8". My question is can it sew up to that unaltered.? Would this be a good deal? All input appreciated.
