Wizcrafts Report post Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Any one know what this machine can do? Is it a walking foot and can it sew 1/4" of veg tanned leather/ The Juki DDL-5550 is a high speed, self oiled garment sewing machine, with a straight needle and a fixed pressor foot. It is absolutely NOT a leather sewing machine. They are usually equipped with a higher than standard speed motor and a large pulley, to get the most speed for factory use. Don't even think about using such a machine with veg-tan leather. It is also not equipped to use heavy thread. See my post showing close-up photos of a walking foot mechanism.
