This is a bad ass machine, no doubt. How heavy a weight (oz) can I sew? Im trying to do a portfolio/messenger bag with 4-5oz oil treated leather. The problem is in overlapping and including some sort of lining.Do I have to go down to an upholstery weight for my outer shell? There is some nice 2-3oz stuff I wouldn't mind using but that oil treated antiqued stuff looks beautiful. Ive hand sewn some bags with Irish linen thread but Ive got such demand now that I have no wish to do bags by hand.
The inner foot momentarily lifts letting the walking foot feed the material through
Good info, thanks. I want to branch out into boat interiors, and need the proper machine to do it, this helps a bunch.

would this machine make good small details to a mens wallet?
