DavidMillsSaddlery Report post Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Who can tell us what Ferdco to their version of the 441 by Juki that makes it different than everybody else’s? I’m interested in buying one, and want to know what they have tweaked… I do believe they’re rated for 7/8” inch sewing thickness, but what else have they done?

Mine came with a thread post top center and a lube pot before it gets threaded to the first tension disc. As far as it differs from my Cobra, there is much of a difference. Surprisingly, I enjoy sewing more with the ferdco than the cobra.. I chalk it up to ive been using it for years and the cobra is newer, so I feel like im just used to its quirks.

Do they make a stirrup plate and holster plate for these Seiko’s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have ferdco pro 2000, I'm not sure how it compares to the 441 (i know its a clone and supposed to be a good one) but if you want any pics let me know happy to help out.
