The makerspace I volunteer at is in the market for a Juki walking foot. We only have room for one machine.
The question is which should we buy: a cylinder bed or a flat bed? I have experience fixing both but have spent little time actually sewing projects on them so I don't have a good sense of how versatile each type is.
Our members could come in with any kind of leather sewing project: handbags, pants, upholstery, so my aim is to get the machine that will be best overall for the biggest variety of projects.
Any opinions?
