What are you sewing that needs something so heavy ? We sewed a vinyl tonneau cover with an ordinary £5 car boot sewing machine using a leather needle
and it was no problem. My niece recently bought a new machine which will sew 8mm of leather together.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I think a normal industrial machine might be all you need, instead of the walking foot the it uses the needle to pull the material..
One other option is to lift the foot in the you machine and manually feed the fabric.. No idea if this will work, but other half has used this method
for leather ect..
