Anyone Heard Of A Ddn-738 Yakumo Cylinder Machine?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I make bags and accessories using mainly 4-6oz leather, every now and again up to 10oz. I have a PFAFF 1245 flat bed, and while I love her dearly, from what I'm seeing on the forums, she's just not the right machine for the job.

From what I gather, people recommend a cylinder machine for bags - which makes perfect sense to me. But not knowing anything about these machines, I feel a little bit out-of-my-depth when it comes to making an informed consumer purchase.

There is someone selling a DDN-738 YAKUMO on craigslist for $1550 (http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/hsh/4032840158.html) and I was wondering if anyone had:

a) heard of this brand/machine

B) had any experiences with this machine/brand

c) knows whether this is a good price

d) has an opinion on whether or not it'll be suitable for my purposes (my website is www.divina-denuevo.com if you'd like to take a look).

I've tried googling reviews of the machine, but all I have found is a youtube video of someone using it.

I hope someone can help!

Thanks

Victoria

That machine lays down a great looking stitch. WOW! It looks like a cross breed between a Singer 45 and the 105 Adler ruffler. If you can live without the walking foot. Parts?? How hard is it to get parts for it?? I think the price is a little high but I am not selling machine. Nakajima is a quality machine made in Japan. I don't have any idea how old this machine is. Maybe Wiz Craft will see this and make a recommendation. I would call the dealer's number that is stuck to the machine and see if he is still in operation. Good luck with this.
