Members fred45 Posted March 26, 2019 Members Report Posted March 26, 2019 I have a chance to get a 168 G a 51W55, I mostly do holsters and knife sheaths out of 4-7 oz leather, any suggestions on one over the other. looks like both are posts with walking feet. Quote
CowboyBob Posted March 26, 2019 Report Posted March 26, 2019 The 168 will sew up to a total of 20oz & would be the better choice. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
Members dikman Posted March 27, 2019 Members Report Posted March 27, 2019 The 51W55 is not a walking foot. Not much good for holsters (unless they're very thin holsters!).
