You did not ask for this info, but I'm going to offer it anyway:

In the '80's my Singer died and I bought a Viking 630 from a dealer. Never had problems with it. It is still my main machine.

A few years ago I had a brain injury, one of the long lasting results is I just can't seem to learn new mechanical things. (this Viking is mechanical and I learned the one that schools used when schools used such tings.)

So I bought a some Viking 630s (and one 620 and 610) on ebay, just to have parts in case mine dies. Well, it has not, and the ones I got all work fine!
I paid $50-$75 each for them.

It free motions just fine with just a regular presser foot and just this week is going through 6 layers of denim, no problems at all.

They all came with t\the presser feet that came with it originally, and one even came with a walking foot. I have no doubts that it could do the job that you want it for.

It does not need oil, and is old enough to be still made in Sweden. I clean it myself with a small brush and a small shop vac.
