Plesae Help Me To Choose A Sewing Machine

[yutaoy]

Hi Leatherworker!

I'm totally newbie, have been reading on here for long time. cause want to get a right sewing machien to start to make something at home, like bag, purse, cases.

my budget was around 300 dolloars, but now I realized it's impossible to get one to working on leather. I looked online and saw 3 machines, hope you guys can help me

1. Consew 206RB, it doesn't say is RB1 or 2 ..., has stand and 1/2 hp motor, cording foot, welt set of feet, bobbins and needles.

2. Juki lu-563, pretty good condition.

3. Mitzi LU401BCT, It has a 200 watt 110v motor. I searched this machine, seems not many people use it.

so which one should i choose? man, can't wait to make something at home, but I know still has a long road to walk ...

help me please!

The Consew or Juki would be the best bet.

The number after the RB- designates the generation of that machine. The current generation is RB-5
