MADMAX22 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah 212 duh (double needle 211), I thought most were walking foot in that line up? Guess two needles moving the material is pretty darn good though. Quote
Members brmax Posted March 17, 2017 Members Report Posted March 17, 2017 I first learned on this 212 i picked up at auction. Never new anything before that. Always was looking for the 211 becuase the compound feed but they all got away. I changed the needle sys to 135x17 for canvas and actually it rocks! I still keep an eye out for the 211 especially some talked about lately with the big bobbin i just sense they are smooth runners like this 212. Floyd Quote
MADMAX22 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Once I got my 211 squared away it does pretty darn good. Will scream right along if you want it to. Wish mine had a big bobbin (and reverse to while I'm at it). Course now the 111 I got has kind of stolen the show. Same issues though, stitching guitar straps with 138 empties a G bobbin pretty dang quick. Edited March 17, 2017 by MADMAX22 Quote
Members JimTimber Posted March 17, 2017 Members Report Posted March 17, 2017 Sewing anything empties a bobbin quick on my 211G. Reverse is pretty sweet though, and it makes great stitches too. Get too thick of material and even TiN coated needles will stick in the work, but as long as the point hasn't deflected out of reach of the hook, she'll keep on sewing great. I have no question why so many copied this model going forward. It works. Quote
