Dmitri Report post Posted February 14, 2011 I am not too sure on the consew products, but I have a Mason open arm powered by a 1/3 hp motor. I can sew 2 pieces of 10-12 oz Leather together. I am carful and guide it alot with hand pulls on the wheel, but it does do it.. I am using a DP-17 125/20 needle without issue. So I guess I am saying that the Consew should be able to sew through one layer of 8oz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
