shoepatcher Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Head looks ok. The key question is will it sew. The ad says it will sew 20mm of hard leather. Not in my book will it. That is in the class of a 205 Adler or 441 Juki or clone. How heavy are you sewing? The 153 will sew about 3/8" max, maybe 1/2" in soft items, but not hard leather. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
