spurdude101 Report post Posted April 22, 2012 I was looking at the Highlead GC2268 heavy stitcher. It's a cylinder arm, high lift, 3/4" I believe. Ralf's sewing machine in Denver has a new one with a servo motor for around $2200.00. Anyone have any thoughts on this machine? http://www.sewinggol.../HL-GC2268.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted April 22, 2012 I checked it out using your link. The machine is a medium duty walking foot machine, with a maximum foot lift of 14 mm, or 9/16 inch. It will sew up to 3/8 inch, with #138 thread, and possibly even #207 on top and 138 in the bobbin. It uses standard system 135x16 or 17 needles. The machine you mentioned has a clutch motor. I see they are selling it for about $2100, plus $200 shipping, with the pedestal table. Were you aware that you could get the same type of machine from one of our member dealers, for about $1600 to $1700, plus shipping? It would be equipped with an easy to control servo motor. Howm-so-ever, for the money you are contemplating spending on the Highlead, you could buy a name brand 441 clone that sews over 3/4 inch, with up to #415 thread.
