Members TinkerTailor Posted January 22, 2016 Members Report Posted January 22, 2016 Since something will have to give on your requirements list anyways, check out the Durkopp Adler 669: It's the closest thing to your spec list I've come across. It will sew 0.4", has a 0.8" foot lift and a thin arm. Price new runs an eye watering $7.6K from Weaver Leather (considerably less if sign up for a business account). Like Henry Ford once said "If you need a machine and don't buy it, you pay for it without getting it." I see your dream machine and raise you this: I do not want to know the price: http://www.campbell-randall.com/machines/sewing-machines/omac-669180010-eos-reduced-cylinder-arm-sewing-machine/ Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."

Members Darren Brosowski Posted January 23, 2016 Members Report Posted January 23, 2016 Basic engineering; The heavier the material and thread you want to work with - the heavier the body needs to be to give the required stiffness. The industrial sewing machine business is very conservative in terms of design. While it is possible to build a large bobbin small diameter arm machine nobody is prepared to step out from the norm.
