Moderator Wizcrafts Posted June 16, 2015 Moderator Report Posted June 16, 2015 Despite its size, the 144 is still an upholstery grade machine. It will max out with a #23 needle and 138 bonded thread. It will sew better with #92 thread. This machine is built to sew tarps, tents, upholstery covers and sails. It is not a holster makers' machine. Quote
