Hi Wiz! so would it be fair to sum up that the 135x16 needles and therefore LU-1508 N model opposed to the H model of LU-1508 are gonna sew and do better on more rigid and stiff materials of leather yet not give full clearance advantages like clearance ect. of the LU-1508NH model? Does the plain LU-1508 model /no end ziffer- use the pfaff 190 needles too? I sew thicker layers certainly 3/8 or larger of PVC clear panels and dacron for windsurf sails ect. and i would be wise to assess the needle characteristics of the walking foot machine I need for the job . Could a different machine in your opinion altogether be a better choice for jobs like that such as sail making and thicker more rigid material then the LU-653 or 1508 models? many thanks

In your assessment of a used Juki lu-1508, presumed to be in good to excellent working condition and could probably be altered to match many of the characteristic advantages of the H model upgrade, what do you think is a fair price to pay for just the head??

Thanks so much guys for your time and efforts for the excellent responses!!! you are awesome!!!

can any one tell me the maximum thread gaug the Juki 1541 can comfortably handle? thank you

Hi, I am curious and wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to discover whether the larger hook form the Juki LU-1508 in fact worked with the Juki LU-563 to increase its ability to use the V207 gauge thread top and bottom. I would like to know if that is a good route to try before I order that Hook? I am needing to sew with some thicker thread so any recommendatons/upgrades from my LU-563 to something different would be much appreciated!
