More importantly, the Seiko moves the material using the vibrating (center) presser foot, the feed dog AND the needle, in unison (compound feed or triple feed) while the Sailrite only moves the material with the outer presser foot and the feed dog and the needle only moves while the material is stationary. Plus, pay attention to the loud racket that the Sailrite makes compared to the soft swish the Seiko makes and think about what that tells you about the precision, design and alignment of moving parts. Many people think these machines are comparable, I would beg to differ, IMHO.

Great points and I agree. That Seiko is amazing. Thanks for clarification on the mechanisms. Very helpful.
We will investigate the f150 sewing machine on Friday. Good video.
F150 is a compliment of course lol
Seiko was the manufacturer of the consew 206rb1- maybe 4 or 5. Then consew started making their own machines in china .
Thanks for the details. Much appreciated.
