I have the opportunity to purchase a Singer 20U33 machine from a neighbor. He thinks it will work for 6-7 oz leather projects. I am leery and have been told mixed things from other leatherworkers. What are you guys' thoughts? I don't plan to sew layers of leather together... Just around keycahins, bookmarks, etc. Likely will use mostly 5 oz leather. 

 

Thank you!!

It was designed as garment / fabric sewing machine but if for sure can handle some light garment leather. But since the seller is your neighbor why don´t you go and test it with the materials you want to sew. Buy some leather needles if he has none and see what it does. Maybe you have to swap out the motor and buy a new servo motor this swill give you a better speed control.
