6 layers of jeans? The needle broke on mine at 37. They were from a worn pair but none the less, jeans.

1951 Singer 201-2. Full rotary. It's a home use model. Needed a bit of help with some of the last layers of cloth by turning the hand wheel. I had to manually lift the lever as high as it would go to get the material under the foot.
This is my daughters machine in my old cabinet.
Mine now resides in a 1940's Singer desk. The same model as mine.

Those are impressive machines, but I have no room for something that big.
My late 70s Viking 6460 at 25 lb? can come out of a lower kitchen cabinet and onto the kitchen table real quick.
I bought it to sew a sail together for a 1920s vintage boat I built. Punched through 14 layers of sailcloth in one corner.
I sewed through 1.5 mm of cowhide when I brought in the waist of my racing suit 2" on each side.
Plus I think I've done 4 different seat covers for bikes, but my work is crude and basic.
