Hi. I'd posted this same request on the conversation forum but this may be the more appropriate place. I've been lurking on and off here for a couple of years just to soak up information. Mainly I've done some car upholstery in both cloth and vinyl on a friends' Juki LU-562. I also have played around some with leather but haven't yet really made anything. Anyway, it's time to get my own heavy duty machine for what I hope is to come down the road. I have an opportunity to pick up a Juki DNU=261 long arm machine for a pretty reasonable price. And the extra space the long arm provides is very appealing. I've tried searching the web for information but haven't been able to find much. For some reason searches will also return the DNU-141 or 241. So are these the same basic machines. Any thoughts on it's suitability for where I think I'm going with my hobby?
