sulla Report post Posted August 8, 2019 I have an opportunity to pick one of these up used for $400. Was wondering if it would sew leather up to any particular thickness? It is still possible to get parts and needles, etc for it? I usually sew veg tanned up to 8 oz, and soft chrome tan buffalo hide up to 10-12 oz. for turn shoes. Thanks!

Pintodeluxe Report post Posted August 8, 2019 Looks like a Yamata type walking foot. Not a true triple feed walking foot, but I've had one like it and it seemed to work ok for thin leather. They usually don't have a very high lift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
