Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here although I asked a few questions in the past logging in through my Facebook profile. I'm no longer able to sign in using my Facebook profile for some reason, so I've created a new one.
I lived in the UK for about 12 years and repaired motorcycle leathers for the last 4. I've now relocated to Italy and I'll be starting a new motorcycle leathers repair business. I always worked with a walking foot flat bed machine, which I sold and a Singer 29k71 that I brought with me.
I'm in that position again where I need to buy new machinery and I can only afford 2 industrial sewing machines. At first I was more oriented towards getting a flat bed and a post bed, but I'm now thinking that it might be best to go for a cylinder arm which can be made flat by adding a small table to it and a high post bed instead. Someone has recommended the flat bed Adler 267-373 and a modified post bed Adler 267-373. Is having a flat bed machine really necessary? From what I can gather, it seems that most second hand cylinder arms available here are Adler, Necchi and Pfaff. I'm just not too sure which exact model would be best to look for.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Devid
