Excellent machine, lays down a perfect stitch.


Hmmmmm, look at the sample.... (last image)


I like the looks of the machine......
I won't buy from anyone who talks up a domestic machine for sewing leather and/or upholstery like that , and as for the stitch sample, he doesn't understand how to manipulate the stitch knobs.

BUT- I have three of these machines, that is the machine I learned to sew on. They do sew a perfect stitch, and I will admit to putting my moms machine to the test by sewing lots of things I shouldn't have, including most of the interior for a '67 Pontiac. My oldest DD has it now and it still sews like it's brand new. And here's a kicker- Some of them take cams, but you'd never know it by looking at it. It's a secret James Bond 007 type of thing.
