Buy it from an industrial machine dealer. If there isn't one close to you, send him a sample of what you will be sewing and let him suggest the best machine for the job. Tell him all the things you intend to use it for so he can sell you what you really need to do the job. Bob Kovar at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine is one of the best. His number is toll free: one - eight six six - three six two- seven three nine seven.
