Singer 153 B8B. Vs Juli Ls 341

Paypal is to be avoided like the plague..whether one is a buyer or a seller..I would not touch it with somebody else's 10' bargepole..

No argument from me re-PayPal, but I do find it very useful with ebay purchases. My mistake (because I didn't know any better) was that I lodged a claim with ebay and they suggested I claim through PayPal. Once I initiated that claim ebay said they couldn't help because it was now with PayPal, although one of their supervisors said that in good faith they would refund my shipping costs once I sent them the receipt (would have been about $200). I refused to "return" it to the UK because Australian Consumer Law said it was the seller's responsibility to recover the goods.

Anyhow, if you ever have problems try and stick with ebay's resolution process.

Juki  341 is a heavier machine than the Singer.  Juki has high lift, bigger bobbin, and will sew #207 thread!  If you need to sew with #207, buy the Juki.

OK thanks for this info shoepatcher.

Looks like the Juki is the1341 model and not the 341.

Little newer, and parts are aplenty.

So several are on there way to Bills Sewing.

Hopefully I can swing the cash and pick it up shortly with out my wife making me reside in the dog house for too long.

I think you've made the right choice. Regarding your wife, tell her you were going to buy the cheaper one but the forum members convinced you it might be a bit iffy and made you nervous about it. Blame us, we can take it.
