If I put this sewquiet 5000 on a juki, will it have the strength to sew leather, if so, up to what thickness? THANKS!!!

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.

I have not had occasion to use it to sew patches on a leather jacket. I have a heavy duty Singer electric machine, and have not found anything the Janome can't match. You would need a strong needle and a good treadle cabinet and belt. Sorry I'm not of more help.

I don't want to knock knock-offs. This Jukii is much the same design as the old Brother 1500. In fact, in the old days, Juki made them for Brother. However, I have a friend who has the Pfaff knock-off of the Juki 2010Q but it doesn't have the three speeds. She always wants to use mine for free motion quitting. I like having the speed choices. Now that Juki is making home sewing machines (they used to just do commercial ones), they may not want to make the others exactly identical to their own.

Yes it will just make sure to read the instructions on working with thick fabrics and using the correct needles and thread. I just finished a quilt that was 1/2"thick each side and as long as you don't force the feed to quickly, it worked beautifully. I did the quilting with the dogs disengaged and the quilting foot and only broke 1 needle at a very thick seam because I pulled the fabric too hard to the right. Good luck with your projects. I hope this helps.

I don't see any reason why not. I don't sew, but I can tell that the fabric is not too heavy for a sewing machine. It looks like a winning solution to me.

I have a Juki and that is why I got this cause it was so difficult to go back and forth most of the adapters will make it to use with most bobbins, Only advice is make sure the speed is on higher end to get an even distribution on the bobbin and it makes it tighter.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

I have not used this on leather; however, I think 1/8" thick piece might be at the limits as the edge of the blade as it lies perpendicular is maybe a 32nd over an eighth of an inch. I hope this helps.

I've sewn through 4 layers of denim using the appropriate needle for heavy fabrics. The machine can handle up to 15/64" thickness of material. For stretch fabrics, there is a particular needle and stitch patterns for stretch and elastic sewing.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

Inches?!? It wouldn't sew through a single inch of fabric & I'm not of a machine that will... That said it'll sew through 4 layers of toughtek, microfiber suede, nylon webbing (gotta be careful with the straps, it'll snap the needle & send it right at you, where glasses!). This, of course, is for the home hobby project, it couldn't do this in production. You will have to get to know the machine but after you do it runs strong, just not as fast as an industry machine.

I have it on my industrial sewing machine, it is 2 inches thick. I think it could go another 1/2 in. Hope this helps.

I've only used the 1/4 inch coils and it works beautifully (30 sheets at 20lb bond paper). There are larger coils 9/16 that are supposed to bind 115 sheets at 20lbs. The machine is used to punch the holes. You don't need it for the coil binding, so you don't have to worry about different sizes in different machines. Just punch your paper in stacks that the machine can handle. Don't forget that you will need a coil crimper for the ends.

I haven't had any problems with bulk but haven't sewed influx leather. Great machine.

Yes....it can definitely sew denim on the correct setting. I haven't sewn velvet but it has various settings to sew thicker materials. I am currently sewing outdoor cushions and it is handling the fabric very well. I've also sewn vinyl and it did a great job.
