escherblacksmith Report post Posted October 17, 2009 I have read most of the posts, but this machine hasn't come up. Does anyone have one and does it work for light duty leather, given it is an older machine with minimal sewing needle variety available. I am not planning on doing any sort of industrial processing and I will not be trying to sew through tooling leather or the like. thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barra Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Escherblacksmith. A 306K is fine for upholstery/garment weight leathers but would struggle on tooling leathers. The foot clearence is about 5/16th ". It will "pitch" stitches (straight sew) up to about 6 SPI and throw stitches (zigzag) about 5mm. Barra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
