Ken Nelson Report post Posted December 25, 2015 I have a chance to buy into some new Atkins walking foot sewing machines out of a factory that is closing down. Anyone know anything about them. Who builds them, capabilities, any good, etc. Thank you, all. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted December 26, 2015 I guess it is a relabeled sewing machine. Some pictures would probably help to ID the machine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted March 22, 2017 I know this is an old thread, but...... Anything on identifying this model Atkins? Looks like a juki, but I don't know which model. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellyblues Report post Posted March 22, 2017 Looks like a Juki DU-1181N clone to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brmax Report post Posted March 22, 2017 Just a lighter duty walker style and in their materials work fine. Ive seen 1181's used in light canvas as a starter and work ok. I know juki made many for factory setting, so like us they did the cost thing and for them operations worked. We can get a better walker/compound and lighten up the presser n tension if need be. Like for many different upholstery textiles that like/demand a lighter foot presser. Good day Floyd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
