Highlead GA2688-1

[UKRay]

This is the machine I have just purchased http://www.highlead.co.uk/highlead-GA2688.html. and I'm currently in the process of getting it ready for some serious work. I'm having a servo motor fitted this week, but apparently there are a number of accessories available - can anyone tell me what they are and if they are worth obtaining?

Hope you can help!

You get back in your box, Badger. This is my obsession and I'm paying for it!

Ray,

I hear they make a commode seat that bolts to the machine and a combination glucose solution dispenser/thread stand. Like a big hamster bottle.

You need never stop sewing again.

Ok, shutting up now.

Does it come in stainless steel?

Pish! You are simply green with 'reverse' envy.

Look at this specification and weep, Badger :

• Max sewing speed: 800rpm

  
  

• Stitch length: 0-11mm

  
  

• Needle bar stroke: 56mm

  
  

• Take up stroke: 96mm

  
  

• Presser foot lift by hand: 13mm

  
  

• Presser foot lift by foot: 20mm

  
  

Now as we all know, I loved old Biggles but the 'all singing, all dancing' MacBiggles has gotten him beat - and no, Ed, it doesn't come in stainless steel, he is just teasing you. Get back to work, man, we need four more briefcases by tomorrow morning!

I think we can get that presser foot lift a bit higher. What do you think all those Allen head bolts are for?

Ed, I'm starting to think you could be a very bad influence on me...

Ray, I especially like how you use the metric listing of clearances to make it seem bigger......13mm indeed. That's a whole lot snazzier than "half inch".

The web description even uses the term "massive 400 mm" describing the arm.

<sigh> Sorry, Ray, I let my machine envy get the better of me.

So have you named this one yet?
