Chinese Patcher VS Juki 273

[mark66]

The Chinese Patcher is , in my opinion, far and away the best machine available for the price. It is VERY rough when it arrives and needs some deburring, polishing and tinkering. I have modified mine to operate either by hand or with electric drill and have 20 minutes and $2 in a great small flatbed for it. From the smallest thread to 138. Yes, 138 . Do it all the time. Get to know it, love it. Same money as taking your girl to the county fair for a long day.

i think i'm gona give this a go. That flat bed certainly gives me an idea for a DIY, the machine can become a flatbed anytime.
