Moderator Wizcrafts Posted September 20, 2011 Moderator Report Posted September 20, 2011 You are stretching the capabilities of the Juki LU-563. This series is a couple decades old now and was never designed to sew 24 ounces, except for denim or vinyl, which compresses under the feet. 24 ounces of veg-tan leather is hardly compressible. You would be better served with a traded in LU-1508N, possibly with high lift and system 190 LR needles. It is built tougher than its predecessors from the 1980's.
