Have you tried your Singer (s) on heavier materials under motor power?
I'm getting some satisfying results from a 99K manual with 100/16 denim and leather needles - easy to judge by feel how many layers of vinyl / cordura / reclaimed leather it can cope with, and slow enough to avoid most mistakes.
