JJN Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 You are not offering much information for anyone to help you. Can you provide a manufacturer or a photo? If by chance you are considering a Pfaff 487, that is not the machine you want. That machine is for lightweight clothing fabrics and thread.

Members dikman Posted February 25, 2020 Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 The ?? after 487 sums it up, we need a lot more info to provide any help - photos are always a big help, along with make and model.

JJN Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) It appears to have some variation of an 'upper feed'. From Pfaff website: Special high-speed sewing machine with drop feed and variable top feed. Sewing of fullness and/or sewing without ply-shift on fine to medium heavy fabrics - Shirts, blouses, jackets, blazers, soft furnishings, curtains and much more It is not a true unison/triple/compound feed machine. From the videos I saw on Youtube, the foot lift looks pretty small. The specifications show that the needle size for this machine is 80 to 100 or 12 to 16 size. That would make the max thread size is 69. This is a machine made for light fabric, not polyester canvas. I think. The machine in your photo has some kind of attachment under the arm to the right of the needle. It has an additional control lever. I don't know what that is. I also looks to have special feet that may be impossible to replace or change to feet that will better fit your bimini project. I really suggest you look for an upholstery class industrial machine for your work.
