or get a juki 562 walking foot sewing machine
If you find a singer walking foot, make sure it has reverse.
Make sure it has reverse and servo motor. If no servo motor then you can buy off amazon for $70. Servo motor will help alot!
I would suggest not to buy a pfaff or german sewing machine as their parts are more expensive and more technical when repairing.

Wish I could find one that some one has used lightly over the years, I would scoop it up. Unfortunately they leave them site and they get all locked up. When you do find one be aware they do go fast and they sew after you take your foot off the pedal. You might look for a Brother Walking Foot machine. That would suit your purpose too.
