riffclown Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 FWIW, I've done over 90 kites on a $100 Brother machine. I don't use a walking foot but the 3 step zizag is vital. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifitcanfly Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 thanks! My hope is to pick up a machine in early November after all the family events we have on the books this month. stay tuned :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTill Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Any machine that works is acceptable. The brothers seem to be reliable cheap machines. All the old Pfaff's are the Bentley's of machines, but finding someone to service them is impossible. The cheap Singers at Joann's have a horrible/ jumpy pedal feel. At this point I prefer to sew gear and not kites. Building gear bags, rope bags for my white water boats and fixing all my friends worn out float tubes, and curtains for campers. The machine I want my friend uses to makes leather purses and wallets. https://www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-1-BASIC-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
