Juki 563 Or Consew 225

[Wishful]

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.

Big bobbin is really nice.

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.

Thanks for the input.
