I have always tinkerd with leather, basic dog collars with rivets anyway I decided I am going to get a leather machine , I plan on sewing heavy leather bags #2 Latigo leather 7-8 oz also shooting slings out of 9-10 0z. Latigo leather and such and bags out of softer leather as well also heavy double layer veg tan belts out of belt blanks , also wallets and what ever else I can come up with , I do have a singer year 1948 model 201-2 for lighter stuff so my question is do I get the juki 1508N or the juki 1508 H these are the two machines I picked out after a couple of days on internet 1508 goes from #46 - #138 and the 1508H goes from #69 - #207 thread were do I need to be I`m leaning on the 1508H but not sure if thats just the man in me lol , I will probably be getting a cowboy 3200 or 4500 in future , so now you know what I have what I want next and were I`m gonna end , Any suggestions that would help me make my mind up would be appreciated Juki 1508H cannot help you reach perfect stitch quality, if you are to use V207 thread. For the thread over V138, a Barrel shuttle hook type machine is almost necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
