Singer 211 And Pfaff 543

[Pinsplitter]

searching online in Australia i find machines for sale that seem reasonable for leather.

i call the sellers and they know almost nothing.

then I spend hours trying to find the specs for the machines and usually can't find anything.

so these 2 machines,

Singer 211 U566A

Pfaff 543

anyone know the max thickness, thread size, needle size for these?

looking for something to sew 4 thicknesses of 1.2mm standard type leather, thicker would be better of course.

thanks in advance

i just noticed the Pfaff has a roller foot, does this mean its not a walking foot machine?

the seller says its for leather, saddlery, collars, belts etc...

i don't believe any of these guys anymore.

roller foot - the machine is specialized to do a certain stitch, a smooth stitch. while the 543 is related to the 545, it is not a walking foot machine. if you are looking to sew 4 layers, you will want your own specialized situation catered to. a 545, 1245, 145 would be more like it. these are all walking foot machines.
