Members MoMatt Posted November 4, 2016 Members Report Posted November 4, 2016 I have a Nick o sew patcher on a pedestal with a nice servo motor. It sews well and I like it but I want to buy a 441 clone. I'd like to keep the patcher as it sure is handy for some things, but I need the money for the 441 so I put an ad on craigslist to sell it. This morning I search for my add and see a minty nice late production Singer 29u for sale. I end up buying it for $175. My wife is probably going to raise an eyebrow but at least i'll get to keep a 29. Gotta say, the Singer is a better machine than the Chinese Nick o sew, everything is so tight and closely machined.

Members Constabulary Posted November 5, 2016 Members Report Posted November 5, 2016 Does not surprise me the Singer is the better one. Yet I have not found any good recommendations of Chinese patchers. The few posts I have read were not really positive. Well there are for sure some that work well but personally I´d rather buy and old Singer than a new Chinese patcher. Have fun with your 29K. Post some pictures when you have time.
