Hi all,does anyone out there know anything about the sewpro 1341 or sewpro 1342? Upon a YouTube search of the Juki ls 1341,I discovered this machine. The dealer,SEWPRO USA,happens to be located in Ephrata Pennsylvania,which happens to be in the heart of Amish and Menninite country. There is a large demand for horse products in this area which also happens to be close to me.I don't know anything about Sewpro USA or the quality of their sewing machines and was hoping someone out there would know something or have used their machines. The only thing I've heard is sewpro makes a great servo gear reduction motor,the 500GR. I am curious if anyone has experience with their sewing machines and if so are they of good quality?. I am assuming they are made in China but do not know this for a fact. I would love to have a Juki but the price is pretty hefty for my budget. I will be visiting the dealer early next week to check out the machines first hand and meet Sergey.Is there anything I should look for (red flags) poor quality, or on the other hand,well built and quality? I am hoping to find an industrial machine dealer in my area, that I can count on should the need for parts,support,etc.and not be a 700 mile drive should the need arise in the future. Any tips and input would be greatly welcome and appreciated! I'm hoping this turns out to be a good thing, and will let you all know the outcome. Thanks !

Hi all,can anyone explain the difference in the juki model ls1341 and juki ls 1342? Would one be more preferable to the sewing of leather purses and accessories and why? I hear alot about the ls1341, but have not seen any mention of the 1342. Is this because the 1342 lacks something/or not,that would make it a good choice for sewing leather? Im gonna guess that price is one of the differences. Im not sure what the going rate is for the 1342??? I also see that the 1342 has a guage for sewing smaller articles. Could someone also explain what this gauge is and what it does exactly? Im just trying learn and to get a better understanding of how these machines vary within its class. As always, this forum rocks and I have learned a wealth of information, thanks to all! Your responses are greatly appreciated. I must say,you guys have kept me from making a couple costly mistakes, Thanks!
