I recently purchased a Pfaff 138-6/21-BS and I'm looking for information I can get on the specific machine. I've been trying to figure out what it will be capable of and how I can help make it capable of chaps and maybe some lightweight tack. I've heard multiple different answers as to what thread and needles it's able to use, and I'm just wondering if I can get an answer for what it's maximum is. I also had some questions on the feet and the drop down feeds on it.
Here are my questions:
1. What are my machines maxes for thread and needles?
2. Will it be able to do sets of chaps like I'm wanting?
3. What kind of feet are available to me that would be suitable for chaps?
4. Will the drop down feeds tear of the grain side of chrome tan leather or vegtan?
5. If it does, is there anyway I can potentially avoid the problem?
Thank you so much in advance! I'm super excited to have this machine as well, as it's my very first sewing machine. I'm just starting out as an actual leather business and I'm hoping this machine will help me get started!
