Jjohnston Report post Posted January 27, 2020 I am wondering what the capabilities of this machine are. I make leather bags and am wondering if it is capable of #92 thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgg Report post Posted January 28, 2020 The way I see the specs it is rated for V33 to V69 yet it is capable of accepting up to a size 21 needle which is good for V92. To use V92 thread according to specs you need to go up to a DSC-246. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jjohnston Report post Posted January 28, 2020 If I did use #92 would it start to wear down the machine? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in a production environment, sewing a min of 8 hours a day for weeks on end. These machines are tough. You could probably push the tuning to 92 thread, but then it may not handle smaller threads very well. It might wear YOU out with frustration trying to sew on a machine where it's pushed to it's max with no headroom. If your minimum thread is 92, then this machine will always be at max capacity. If you mostly use 69 or smaller, and occasionally do 92, it might be ok. I would look for something with a little more capacity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
