Pfaff 463

[JKHelms]

I'm looking at a used Pfaff 463 sewing machine. It has a walking foot. 

The guy uses it to sew auto upholstery.   I want to sew up to 2 pcs 9 oz veg tan. 

Will this machine do that? And what is the largest size theeadcand needle it will take?

The 463 Pfaff is not a walking foot machine,it is a tailor,dressmaking type of machine for lightweight materials.

Sometimes people think the feed dog underneath is a walking foot.A walking foot machine has 2-upper feet a narrow inside the needle goes through & a wider outside one..
