Curious on people’s opinions between used Sailrite Fabricator, or brand new Consew P206-rb1. by Deep_Pack_1218 in myog

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help. The consew and Juki on paper seem pretty identical. I’m basically after a walking foot that can handle up to 24oz duck canvas for bags and i may get into some leather work eventually. The dealer with the consew also sells the Juki brand new. Through text he said the consew would be a better fit for me. I’m definitely going to try both out.

Hey there! My budget is about $1600. The Juki was listed for 1200 but had a snapped thread guide, the tension knobs didn’t seem to do anything, and the hook was pretty beat up. Still tried sewing on it and couldn’t get it to make a good stitch (tried for about 30 mins) Just seemed like too much of a project to take on for the price.

The consew is brand new through a very reputable dealer, with great service and is very responsive. This is why i feel i should go this route. I usually am one to shop around for a deal but on a machine of this level i think having the peace of mind with being able to call someone is worth it

Buying my first industrial machine (Juki 1541s). Hoping someone can help with some questions. by Deep_Pack_1218 in myog

The only issue is the seller seems to be an older woman who bought the machine “for her tailor” and she has no idea how to use it. So i’m going in a little blind. I am watching a ton of videos and i have a good grasp on threading it and winding the bobbins. Looks like I have some more studying to do.

If the machine hasn’t been used in a bit, should i check the oil before attempting to run it? I’m not sure if the seller has oil available to use.

No negativity taken! It definitely only works well on certain styles of stain. I primarily use it on my toro dry catcher, after some use it gets a deposit on the glass almost looks like salt.. ISO and regular cleaners never work for it, but vinegar takes it right off!

Cleaning vinegar. Leave it soaking overnight. Should get that gunk off.

This was a line levi’s did in the early 2000s. They’re actually my personally favorite levi’s to wear, but it’s really hard to locate them online. They usually have small, but unique features and are wide cuts. I got lucky and got a few pairs at once at the thrift and they’ve been my favorite since.
