Members Bennyg11 Posted August 25, 2018 Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 Up to this point I have hand sewn all my projects. I have the opportunity to purchase a Juki 227 with walking foot with clutch motor and table for only $200. I know Juki as a quality company but will this model with a walking foot be something that can do wallets and small bags. I would like to thank everyone in advance for their input Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 25, 2018 Moderator Report Posted August 25, 2018 The Juki DDL-227 is not a walking foot machine, nor a leather machine. It is just a high speed straight stitch machine meant to sew cloth garments. Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.
Members Bennyg11 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 That's what I thought but the seller keeps telling me it has a walking foot and I don't think that was ever an option for that model please correct me if I am wrong Quote
Members chrisash Posted August 25, 2018 Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 Ask them to video on there phone a shot of the walking needle, that would be quick and easy and confirm if they have confused the model number Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Members dikman Posted August 25, 2018 Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 Do a google search on Juki 227, it will show quite clearly that the seller doesn't know what he's talking about! Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members DrmCa Posted August 25, 2018 Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 The seller can say anything, that does not make it truth. All DDL series machines are high speed textile bottom feed machines. Period. Quote Machines: Mitsubishi DB-130 single needle, Kansai Special RX-9803/UTC coverstitch, Union Special 56300F chainstitch, Pfaff 335-17 cylinder arm walking foot, Bonis Type A fur machine, Huji 43-6 patcher, Singer 99 hand cranked, Juki DDL-553 single needle (for sale)
Members Bennyg11 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2018 I would like to thank everyone for confirming what I already thought. Quote
DonInReno Posted August 25, 2018 Report Posted August 25, 2018 Keep your eyes open and don’t get discouraged - I’ve seen a lot of good deals on walking foot machines of all sorts pop up in Washington over the past few years. Quote

Any thoughts on a singer 29-4 I know it's an old cobbler machine but I'm just starting out and wanting to get into leather holster and western type setups Quote
DonInReno Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 You need at least a walking foot machine - that’s what I’d be looking for. The 29-4 patcher shouldn’t be your primary. Quote
