Time for me to move on this machine really. I picked it up last year with all the right intentions of upping my sewing game, alas ill-health has meant I've not been able to make use of it and now it's just taking up space.
It's a proper industrial machine, in really good condition. I got it from a professional seamstress who had it as a 2nd spare, consequently it's had relatively little use. Loads of life left it this baby!
It goes like the clappers and in the right hands would sew enormous quantities of material in no time. Seriously, if you give a foot full on the pedal it is FAST!! but will happily run along at a beginners pace too.
I've used it to sew a kilt in some pretty thick wool material and it coped brilliantly, I would say that it would sew thick canvas and thin-ish leather very well indeed, perfect for upholstery. would probably do slightly thicker leather too (upto 3mm maybe), although strictly speaking not designed for this use, it is very powerful.
If you know about sewing machines, you know that this is a good one. Straight stitch, adjustable stitch length, reverse, very controllable with a bit of practice.
Located in Birkenhead it would need collecting as it's heavy and cumbersome. Could possibly meet you some where nearby ish, I get around a bit! it fits in a family sized car no probs.
Looking for £250 ovno.
Any question just ask!
Cheers,
James

I wanted to offer it to folks here at a good price before putting it on the dreaded bay. I'll give it a few more days here then it'll go on there.
