  1. Thanks, that’s what I wanted to hear. I mainly sew apparel on a Juki and only use the walking foot occasionally. stitch is good on both, I like the simplicity of the Pfaff and as mentioned before, the higher lift
  2. Whoops, my bad mixing up machines. It’s a 67-GK373
  3. I have been using a Durkopp Adler 165 for many years with only one occasional issue. At times I need to sew several layers, generally canvas, and or webbing. Often when I am at or near the foot height limit, or passing a seam with multiple layers, I skip stitches and struggle with the work.. Recently I agreed to help a retiree clean up and sell their Pfaff 545 H4 high lift machine. It uses a longer needle and definitely seems better. My thinking is that If I only want to keep one or the other. Is the Pfaff the obvious choice or is the Durkopp a far superior machine in other ways. thanks for any input Brad

  6. Ah, good to know about the potential parts issues. Thanks
  7. I’m trying to decide which machine to buy between a Brother LS2-B837 and a Juki LU-562. I’m not going to be using them for extremely heavy work and they are both available to me in good working condition for around $800. The Juki seems to get a lot of praises as a reliable workhorse but it’s older than the brother, has a smaller bobbin and seems a little harder to adjust the stitch length. I’ve read that changing the stitch length on the Juki can sometimes require timing adjustments. if anyone has a good working knowledge of these two machines your input would be appreciated.
