First machine - Northern Balkans edition

[Kovac]

Hello there everyone, I am in need of help.

I recently decided to invest in a sewing machine, since the workload cannot handle sewing everything by hand. I did some research, but found the topic to be more overwhelming than expected.  First because of the terminology and second because its mostly focused on the American market. 

 As I understood there is no "universal" machine for heavy and light work, but just to be sure is there something that can nicely do thicknesses from 2 - 10mm? 

I am also limited by the supply here in Slovenia and Im not keen on buying used from Germany, since you cannot test them. They're selling here some Singer machines, Durkopp, Texi and Juki, but as I said the market is small here.

I was thinking about the Pfaff 335 (G-6/01 BLN) which i can get for around 2500€ here.

I apologize for asking such broad questions but I need some guidance here since I'm mostly self taught and dont know where to turn. 

 

Thank you for your help
