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

Brad44 started following Brother LS2-B837 vs Juki LU-562, Pfaff 545 H4 vs Durkopp Adler 165 and Exact Touch Edge Finisher for sale

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

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.
