I've used 92 nylon thread in an 18 needle on a 15-91 making a boat cover. The edge reinforced for snaps was rolled canvas over a polyester webbing. So we are talking three layers of canvas and a webbing penetration. The 15-91 didn't even work hard. It makes a better stitch than my Reliable Barracuda which is a copy of the Sailrite LZ1. I wish I'd tried the 15 before purchasing the Barracuda. Don't give up on the 15. The right combo of thread/needle/tension should easily penetrate 4 layers of Sunbrella, etc. I use the Barracuda only when I feel I'm abusing a machine in a process. I don't abuse my beautiful Singers
