dirtclod Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 You need to check and make sure you can different feet for the machine because the one in the picture is way to big for sewing close to anything. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Boriqua Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you for pointing that out. I have never used a sewing machine and I wouldnt have even to know to ask about feet. Here are feet he offers on the site http://www.windhamcub.com/?page_id=132 Will those get me close enough to an edge to sew. would i need both right and left. I have to see how much that adds to the cost. As it stands it is 1495 for the machine, Im guessing around 50-60 bucks for shipping and then feet, thread and I have to ask about needles. Getting up there in price. Bummer I would really like a human powered machine but I keep coming up with either this or the Boss and the boss has sketchy reviews. One of the things I like about the windham is he says it can go from fairly thin to fairly thick which is just what I am looking for. Well Glad I have a nice sharp Awl! Please if any of you with experience can think of any other questions I should ask please let me know. Thanks! Alex Quote
dirtclod Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Ask if they will trade the standard one with you for a left toe foot. I have left and right toes for my machine and very seldom use or need the right toe foot. I would get polyester thread to, it sews better IMHO than nylon. Get a few extra bobbins so you can a couple of bobbins and colored bobbins ready to go if you use two or more different colors of thread. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
