Help me choose a Heavy Duty Machine
Zaphod Beeblebrox Member since 11/10/10 Posts: 12	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/20/11 1:37 PM I've been talking to some various machine dealers of both used and new around my area looking for a machine to sew #8 Cotton Duck Canvas (18oz weight) Here's a short list of the machine I'm considering and have been recommended by various salespeople: Juki 98Q Yamata FY5618 Juki 563 Consew 205 Tacsew 111 (<--seems identical to the Consew 205 to my eyes) Sewline 106 Sailrite LSZ-1 They're all close enough in price that it doesn't make a big difference. I only really need straight stitch with reverse. And I want the ability to use a binding attachment. Can you fine folks help me choose a machine or at least help me understand why one might be better than another?
