I have a janome machine... it's slightly over entry level I think. It can punch through 3-4 layers of webbing but you have to go pretty slow. The issue with my machine is not so much the strength of the motor, it's the timing of the machine and the foot clearance. I physically can't get more than 4 layers of webbing under the foot. Also with faster speeds the needle will be pulled out of alignment because it's still in the fabric when the feed dogs start moving and the needle will likely hit the needle plate.

It will do 4 layers of 1000d cordura easily. Will max out at 2 layers plus 2 layers of webbing.
