Juki 1541S Or Sailrite 111 Walking Foot, Which One?

[jortuno]

Wiscrafts,

I'm going to test the machine out on Wed. If the transition from 0 to 200 is not smooth then I'll be opting out of that servo motor and instead will purchase one of the suggested models

Are these the servo motors you're talking of?

I just sold my Tac Sew T-111 which is the same machine as the Sailrite, after a year of use. It had never failed me but I have recently up graded to Juki's, 1508n and 2810-7. The Tac Sew class machine is more for the part time user, it's internal parts aren't as heavy duty as the Juki, so it all depends on what you want to do with the machine and how deep you want to get into this hobby.

With the MCR servo motor the Sailrite should be an easy to use machine with lots of power.

It's all about decisions.

I know this is an old thread, but how do you like your Juki 2810-7, Scott?

How do you find it manages the differences in thicknesses? You've had it for almost 3 years now, how is the thread cutter holding up? How does it compare to your 1508?

thanks

Here's a Juki 1541S with a servo motor for $1610 from keysew. Gregg at keysew is a frequent poster here. I bought my machine from him.
