Absolutely Miriam, just because a domestic machine CAN sew the heavy stuff doesn't mean it should be fed a steady diet of it. When I did it with Moms Prestige I didn't know any better. Now I do. His "retractable feed" statement makes me wonder just how much he really knows, I've never heard it called that before. And I wonder why the motor has been replaced.
