Machine question
Hi all,
Do any of you use a commercial machine to quilt? I was offered a Singer Heavy Duty 6212c machine for $50. The throat is way wider and deeper than a regular machine and is built to last and last. Just a question and I just wondered if it would work or if anyone else has had this thought. RoundRobinP

I Googled this machine and am not seeing that it is a commercial machine at all, or that the throat is any wider than regular domestic machines. Here, for example:

Industrial machines can be really nice to work with, but this model does not appear to be industrial.

It's not an industrial nor a heavy duty machine. The seller is trying too hard IMHO to sell it. That said, for $50, it could serve you well. If you're looking at this for a first machine, go ahead, knowing that when you get 'deeper' into this hobby, you'll probably want to upgrade.
