How thick?? What size of thread do you want to use??? Are the machines being offered by an individuals or companies??? Personally I wouldn't choose either I would prefer to look for something with a wider range of thread selection as I think all three would limit the thread size selection to V92 max. I would suggest finding a Juki or clone as replacement parts and accessories are easier and cheaper to find. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personalmente, no elegiría ninguno de los dos. Preferiría buscar algo con una gama más amplia de selección de roscas, ya que creo que los tres limitarían la selección de tamaño de rosca a V92 como máximo. Sugeriría buscar una Juki o un clon, ya que las piezas de repuesto y los accesorios son más fáciles y económicos de encontrar. kilogramos The machines are offered by private sellers, I am not sewing anything very thick such as tanned leather, I am sewing a lot of vinyl and leather of a thickness similar to vinyl, I would like to spend no more than 1100 just on a head.

Constabulary Report post Posted August 5 (edited) I´d choose the BROTHER - clone of a Singer 153w (but with reverse) or the later Seiko CW-8 and / or Consew 227R. Its a Singer based machine and parts will be available probably for ever and the accessories like presser feet sets are cheap.
