I can sew leather like that no problem with my juki DDL-8700 ($600 with table new from queens NY) using a Teflon presser footer. I use heavy thread also, I forgot what weight it is but it’s the denim kind.
@@namcoanyc7777 I have also Juki DDL-8700, and I've used it for leather too. I've done also with teflon presser foot. but if you're doing serous work than better to get a walking foot like Juki DU-1181N, or Juki 1560. and of course 1560 is much better for super heavy leather, specially if you work with a few thick layers
When you say for thicker leather the LU 1508 is the better choice . Could you a give example? I don't know if this would be suitable for me.. how thick was the leather in this video.?
I love this machine
He handled it well. I don't think I could do it without glue to tape! Impressive.
Yeah, he's pretty talented.
You should apply for a patent on that unique design! Amazing.
Do you think the Juki DU-1181N would sew this leather or is that pushing it?
Pushing it. Only thin, fashion leather is recommended.
It said it in Decatur,cut sew
Did you try suede cowhide on this machine?
No, but that shouldn't be an issue.
I just went with a DX7 - I was worried about the motor. It’s a lot for home sewing

Will this sew leather for holsters like 8 to 10 oz
Possibly. But, if you're questioning it, you may want to jump up to the 1560 www.cutsew.com/juki-lu-1560n

The leather sewn with the 1541 in this video is 2mm. We constructed a case with 4mm leather using the 1508.
What size needle do you use on this leather?
