Members cdthayer Posted May 22, 2011 Members Report Posted May 22, 2011 We have a 20U33 that we set up for straight stitching Denim Jeans hems. That’s about all we use it for, although I’d like to take advantage of the Zigzag capability of the machine, so I’m setting up an old Singer 95-40 for hemming so I can put the zz plate, dogs, and foot back on it. The 20U33 is not as “industrial” as it looks (IMO), and isn’t built nearly as stout as the old Singers. It’ll do denim or duck ok, but we haven’t tried leather of any kind on it, since we have other machines for that. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."
