Wizcrafts Report post Posted September 9 This walking foot machine is a good one for flat work from about 1/16" up to 3/8". I uses bonded thread sizes 69 (T70) through 138 (T135). I had one for several years and it was great for sewing vests, sewing zippers into jackets, heming chaps, making seat covers, and anything that lays flat while being sewn.

Replacement parts and accessories at reasonably priced and easy to get. Has the bed of the machine been repainted as I am seeing some differences between the body and the bed but that maybe just the photo? The price seems to me to be over priced particularly since you are planning on replacing the motor with a servo which will cost approximately another $200. That will push the price to $1100 CAD. That said if the machine is in good condition and it suits your needs it would be a third of the price of a new Juki 1541S or less then half of a similar clone machine. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is excellent, one owner machines in good condition are hard find. I would suggest changing to a servo motor. It will be a lot quieter and give more stitching control. Well worth the investment. Also you should add your location to your profile. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
