Members NC Holster Maker Posted May 23, 2011 Members Report Posted May 23, 2011 Im thinking about a Yamata FY5318 for holster making. Does anybody know if #277 thread will fit the machine? Does anybody have any reviews (good or bad) of this machine for my intended use? Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted May 23, 2011 Moderator Report Posted May 23, 2011 The Yamata Fy 5318 is designed to sew with up to #138 thread, top and bottom, using a #22 needle. It will sew 5/16" of leather, or any other material. This is what we refer to as a standard, low-end upholstery grade sewing machine. It is not built for sewing veg-tan leather.
