thoughts on artisan 4700 flatbed

[esantoro]

Anyone have experience with the Artisan 4700 flatbed? I'm looking to add an industrial flatbed machine to my lineup for more intricate projects. The 4700 is written up as being able to stitch #69 to #415 thread. Do you think this machine will simply function as a flatbed version of the 4000 or will it allow for the more intricate stitching as that seen, for example, in Kevin King's work?

For the time being, I'm going to see if I can get my portable walking foot machine to fill the gap.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,

I talked to Jerry about that machine and he said it is good for webbing etc. For more intricate work try one of the Artisan 797 size 138 or 618 that goes to size 207.
