Chinese netizens share their sewing machine

[PiZhihong]

Hello everyone, I am a leather enthusiast from China. My English is not good and I need to communicate through translation software. There is a possibility of translation errors. I hope to share sewing machine information from different countries with everyone!

Very good - I like your set up.

Looks very professional.

What do you produce - or better : want to produce -- as all machines look to be in extremely new condition.

And here for the million dollar question : was your Juki manufactured in China or in Japan ?

I ask this because it is rumored that even Jap companies farm out production to China these days.

 

Greetings

I mainly work in the design and pattern making of women's bags. I have my own handmade leather bag brand, and my job involves designing and pattern making as well as small-scale production

Well, at least you are using Amann Serafil Tex 10 - a good German thread and not some no-name-brand for cheap coin.

Still haven´t answered the million dollar question, though.

The Juki DSC-246 is made in Japan. Also if you zoom in the nameplate indicates it was made in Japan.

For some strange reason - there is Juki-China as well  ----  https://www.jukichina.com

 

Well, then let us look at the labels from different brands : Cowboy, Techsew, Tyson, all the Sailrite models - and see if we can find a "made in China" decal on them.

 

Here in Germany they have veered off to a different trick - merchandise manufactured in China is declared as "designed in Germany" - with no country of manufacture declared properly on the label. 

 

That actually means : the consumer is not getting f....d about country of manufacture - he is just getting severely mislead on purpose.

 

I am not saying this to profile my image - it is  just a plain fact of modern manufacturing "ethics".

Probably because China is such a large market. I know they make the Juki DU-1181n walking foot machine in China. I have one and it is NOT of the same quality as my Juki DNU-1541S made in Japan.

That has a lot to do with paid wages.

Japs are paid good - the workers are absolutely connected to their company - they have pride in their manufactured products.

In China they pay very poor wages - if you don´t like it - you will be replaced by some other person out of the 1,5 billion person work force in the wink of an eye.

And we all know how poor paid workers look upon quality of their craftsmanship.

Greetings and welcome aboard, @PiZhihong. Looks like you navigated some translation issues and got your post sorted out.  Thanks for the effort.

The pictures look like a sewing machine store? I see a Cowboy machine, very popular in the US.

Thank you for your reply. This is my studio, not a sewing machine shop. Sewing machine shops in China have very dense displays
