Thank you for your sugestion, Gump! That price seems great, I'll have to take a look at that machine. My research has lead me to the Techsew 106...I'm impressed, and it seems to have a lot of what I'd like...especially the servo motor. But, that Techsew is alot pricier than what I had in mind to spend. Anyone have an other thoughts or suggestions? They are very greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have been reading a lot on the forums about sewing machines, and there is a lot of information! I sew leather and rubber, specifically inner tubes - you can check out my work here: http://www.brigidko.tumblr.com So far I have established that I think I should be looking for a walking foot sewing machine with a compound triple feed. I tried out a friend's Tachsew T11-155 and it worked well, but I see on here that the consensus is that Tachsew's may be kind of a junkie machines in the long run. I'd love any feedback or suggestions. I'm ready to buy a machine this week!

Thanks Art, for the heads up! This isn't my machine, so I just assumed that the manual that came with it was for it. Hmm...the manual lists a couple of other model numbers. Any thoughts on those? And, is this machine used for shoemaking? DO you happen to know? Thanks! b

Hello, I have inherited this Pfaff Industrial machine. As you can see in the images, the manual that came with the machine lists the Pfaff 491, 471 and 474. The machine is a Pfaff, and runs on compression from an Efka Variostop motor. The machine was running properly according to the last owner. This machine comes with the table and manual.
