I’m presented with the option to buy 2 juki bartacking machines. I was wondering whether they fit my task. I plan to bartack belt loops and zipper fly and to be doing over 10 layers of perhaps 16 oz denim. Both juki machines are the model LK-1852, would it fit my criteria?

So I recently bought a Consow 226, in excellent condition, but my parent out of state decided to store it in a shed and it gathered sand over 2 weeks. Is this bad, should I get it serviced, or what should I do?
