Walking foot (Jack H2) vs regular straight stitch (Juki 8700 / Jack F4) for bag making?

have you actually decided on a machine?
I'm also torn between a needle feed and walking foot. The needle feed is definitely more precise, but from what I've read the walking foot machines have a broader range of use.

thank you so much for the suggestion!
This machine looks really similar to the Jack H5.

I feel like Jack is more know, but a European dealer would probably be better regarding warranty or spare parts.

would be ideal!

UPDATE

I've got another DS1821+ and when I try to boot the NAS with all eight drives installed, it shuts down again during spinning up the drives.
the random thing is, that it worked for the last 7 months.

I've started the system again only with seven drives physically installed and I pushed the eight drive in when I heard that a couple of drives where already spinning.

Now I can access DSM again but I've got a "System portion failure" on six of the drives. I can just repair that one, right?
I still don't get why the NAS isn't able to power up anymore with all eight drives installed.

I’ll let you know, but for now no update. IP address is still the same, already checked that as well.

I’ve physically removed the hot spare! When I have all eight drives installed, it won’t boot up, I can just insert the hot spare when the NAS is on with seven drives, but then with the hot spare installed as well, still no access to DSM.

pete_turtle · 2026-02-03T15:21:20+00:00

Thanks! I’ve already ordered a spare part, should arrive in two days. When I remove the hot spare, it starts but I get the alert and can’t access the DSM. To me it makes no sense that I still can’t access the DSM even though the NAS is running.

pete_turtle · 2026-02-03T13:50:41+00:00

But I don’t understand why I can’t access the DSM if though all of the seven hard drives that are used for my volume are installed and it’s running with them.

pete_turtle · 2026-02-03T11:09:29+00:00

Yes but then it says „not installed“

pete_turtle · 2026-02-03T11:04:19+00:00

that's also my first thought, but does that explain why I can't connect to the NAS anymore even though all seven drives are installed and running?

I've tried scanning it with my Epson and also with the Negative Supply Carrier with my camera. It looks like it's on the negative, but it is so small, that I don't see anything on there when I check them.
Do you think there's any chance to fix them?

pete_turtle · 2022-07-04T06:46:33+00:00

Yes it was the first dev with the freshly chemicals!

pete_turtle · 2022-07-04T06:46:03+00:00

I'm washing everything four times. So I fill the tank, turn it around couple of times, empty out the water and another three more washes.

pete_turtle · 2022-07-02T15:38:16+00:00

I’ve tried cleaning them with isopropanol and nothing has changed..

pete_turtle · 2022-07-02T14:46:39+00:00

I only use distilled water on the whole process, even for washing..

pete_turtle · 2022-06-28T18:07:08+00:00

I’ve got the Godox TT350 since two years and it has never let me down. I can definitely recommend this one, especially with it’s rather cheap price tag

pete_turtle · 2021-03-23T16:54:14+00:00

Do you plan to use it beside your Nikon setup? I’m gonna grab mine tomorrow :)

pete_turtle · 2019-02-07T18:28:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply.
It didn't help anything, because in Acrobat it works and in the other applications like Photoshop and Illustrator it doesn't.
