Hi,
Starting to look for machines to do leather bags and probably redo seats for my husband's 1980 911.
I'm currently looking at a sewmo ck-563. I'm getting that this is some kind of juki clone, but not finding much literally with that brand.
I'm a few hours away from the seller, he's asking $405 and has sent video of it sewing a piece of leather.
I'm reading that this one should reverse? Is this something that would work for the applications that I'm looking for? Is that a good ballpark price or should I see if he has wiggle room?
Anything else I should look for? I'm experienced, but with more domestic sewing...bags, quilting, and I do small scale production sewing for an Etsy seller - keyfobs on janome 1600p. I'm assuming that's going to struggle with auto upholstery, it does ok on bags but not having a free arm gets tricky and eventually struggles a teeny bit with too many layers.
Thanks, excited to have found this group!
