Cutline And Juki Id/advice

[BROADWAY]

Hello Everyone. I need your advice, opinions, and knowledge about these two machines (Cutline and Juki) that I have the opportunity to purchase to sew leather. Any and all replys will be greatly appreciated. The CutLine looks to be missing parts in the Bobbin area, and the Juki I know nothing about. I have been told they are both in operaring condition with table and clutch motor. The Juki looks to be model LK 202? The CutLine is model c-211?

I too am looking at buying a Cutline 211. I know very little about it and sewing machines in general. Which machine did you choose and why? Did you ever find out anything you could share with me about the Cutline?

Lets be serious here.

"Working condition" but parts are missing? Pull the other one - it whistles Dixie.

If a machine is missing parts then there is a reason. Usually it has stopped working and been raped for parts so beware.

Go back to the basics. What do you want to sew? See the thread started by Wiz and work out what machine you really need.
