I am looking to get another machine and the above 2 are available in my budget range. They are both walking foot machines but no reverse. I will slow them down with smaller pullies. One has a large bobbin but other than that, seem similar. Any thoughts on one over the other? Thanks.

The Juki LU-563 should have reverse, plus the way larger *U* bobbin. The 225 is ....without reverse. I'd go with the 563 myself.

I agree with DC. Steve

LU-563, as long as it is tight (but not binding) and sews a proper stitch. Also, make sure that the stitch length lever doesn't raise up when you speed up, shortening the stitches. That is caused by weak springs in the reverse mechanism.
