@Wizcrafts Thanks for the tips on the machines Wiz, my issue is one of space however, as I mentioned at the start of this thread, I don't have the space for another machine with it's own table, which is the reason I'm hoping a domestic will serve the purpose.

@AlZillaCorrect, not inexpensive at 120€, but if I try it out and it runs fine, I think I'll just go for it as I have neither the time nor the inclination to find a used machine from a private owner and try to get it back in shape. 

Looks like about $140 US. If I'm going to part with one that I've gone through and made good as new, it takes at least $100 US to pry it away. Most people would rather go the Walmart and drop that same money on a less capable, low end plastic machine. The difference is a couple years of service vs a couple of lifetimes.

Here's hoping this works out for you. I've made a lot of denim bags on 237's and similar Kenmores.

@AlZilla

Thanks Al, that's exactly what I wanted to know, that someone has used the same or similar machine and can say, with some certainty, that it will most likely do the job I want to use it for(obviously I'm not holding you to account, machines, maintenance and operators are all variables). 

I don't think it's too high a price, I'm happy to pay a bit more for a properly serviced machine that will do the job. 

Hopefully I'll have some results I can share sometime soon.
