speedbuggy Report post Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Everybody has been very helpful so far. But I have yet another question. Does anyone have any expierience with the JUKI DU-1181N or DDL-8700L? I will be sewing up to layers 8/9oz and 1 layer 5/6 or 2 layers 10/11 oz leather. I like the Idea of both the walking foot & bottom feed on the DU-1181N. DDL-8700L JUKI 1181n Thanks, Kris Edited November 16, 2009 by speedbuggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDL-8700L JUKI 1181n Thanks, Kris Hi Kris, if you are going to be sewing leather, then the DU-1181N would be the machine to use. The DDL-8700L is a single needle designed for the garment industry. You will be best served to use a servo motor and speed reducer when using the machine for leather. Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
