kgg Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 You can still get new Mini Brute's from Sailmaker's Supply new for $648 US, which seems a bit high to me and really don't look much different then most of the available portable walking foot machines. Similar new machines in Canada run about $600 Canadian. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

Somebody sold a Thompson mini walking foot machine for $300. Here is the ad for it. I'd guess that your Mini-Brute is the same machine with a different name tag.

kgg Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 I agree with chrisash that it would make a nice basic straight stitch machine without all the bells and whistles for someone to get their feet wet. All it probably would need is some good oiling, a fresh needle and some thread. If your wife fines she doesn't like sewing or after she gets more self confident / experienced then sell it. Better to learn the basics on an inexpensive, forgiving machine first rather then spend a lot of dollars up front only to find you don't have the temperament/patience or whatever to get the most use out of the machine. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
