Hello, I do not live in the United States. I purchased this triple-feed sewing machine for $1,000 because the company told me it was capable of sewing three layers of chrome-tanned leather, each 4 ounces thick—approximately 0.5 centimeters in total thickness. They also mentioned that it could sew with size 138 thread on both sides.
After using the machine for a few days, it started having many issues. My question is: do you think this machine is actually capable of sewing that thickness of leather with size 138 thread on both sides? It seems to me that the machine is at its limit, which is why it gets misaligned after about 30 minutes of use.
The company did not provide me with any manual, only a small sheet with an unreadable list of parts. However, I found the exact model on a sales website in China. Any guidance would be very helpful.
