Great video! I also chose the Juki TL-18 QVP. Three more advantages to it: 1) It comes with a Foot Switch Stopper that will prevent accidental thread cutting with the foot pedal. 2) It has a Micro-Lifter knob on the upper right of the machine that gives additional lift to the presser foot when necessary. This is helpful when sewing through thick layers of fabric. 3) Its “shaved head” gives excellent visibility when sewing - especially in free-motion quilting and when pivoting in garment sewing and bag making.
I have been thinking about Juki for several years. However, we have no local dealer or repair shop. So, I'm still sewing on my antique Singers that I can service myself.
I have vintage machines I care for myself, too. My Juki 18QVP is cared for the same as a vintage Singer. Juki Junkies has made RUclips videos for how to care for this machine.
Yep, I knew the Juki was going to Proform the best especially sewing through the 16 layers of fabric. I'm a furniture maker and I use my Juki DDL H industrial sewing machine for the upholstery work on my sofa sectional builds. Juki is a favorite brand among upholsters, and I defiantly see why. Great video comparison.
Thank you for this video! I would like to know if there is a semi industrial JUKI or Janome, that makes not only straight stitches, but zig zag , buttonholes, elastic, and aplique stitches… I want a strong machine Thank you
Thanks for your nice response. I understand that you are really very talented in this subject, please give me some advice I don't need a sewing machine design. I will sew vine leaf flowers and round designs using quilting free mutton. So for me should buy any sewing machine at low price
@@FANIsewbizThis is a very pertinent question👏👏👏and I have the same concern. I am not too impressed by the DX-4000QVP performance. Not fast enough, not strong... this cheap plastic sound. And the industrial DDL-9000c or DDL-8700 Take too much room and space😢😮😢😢 The industrial quality with basic zigzag and buttonholes options would have been a great alternative.🤝🤝🤝🙏🏽🙏🏽👋👋
I have the Juki TL-18 QVP and I absolutely love it! I also have many other machines including Viking, Bernina, Singer Featherweight, etc. She looks a bit industrial but I like it
Good assessments. As a Juki owner I was cheering at the end. I love my TL2010Q model. But the thread does slip out after using the thread cutter. I will try your solution. And this model is about a grand, with tray and extras.
I’m a little late to this video, however, I purchased the Juki 18QVP in November! I love it! And you just showed all the reasons. The rubber stopper for the pedal was included and I put it on immediately. 😊
In the 1970s I bought a Viking sewing machine, with cams, that the salesperson sewed down a wooden yardstick to demo the power. That was impressive: about a 1/3” thick, wood. He went a long way down the length of the yrdstick. Those days the machines weren’t made in the far East. Ie: My Elna Super was made in Switzerland. Now I just bought a Juki and have been pleased with my fancy Janome and “big bang for your buck”: brother. Back to the past. I never sewed down a yardstick and have no need to sew through ten feet of leather, (i’d get a machine made for leather and the proper foot attachment). Nice to see you enjoying the machines! You seem to enjoy heavy duty sewing, you might want to try leather working: making small items for people, purses, glass cases, etc. and doing bridal and/or saddlework. Just suggestions from a grandma.
I noticed that you had the thread on the bobbin winding spool when you were sewing on the HD9 maybe that’s why you were having issues with the thread pulling out etc. It shows the way you should thread on the top. You also threaded through the extra tension(heavier thread guide) when you threaded with regular sewing thread when you sewed on lightweight material. I have never had those problems when threading correctly. Please try those settings and see if you notice a big difference.
Thank you for pointing this out. I'm trying to figure out what sewing machine I want to add to my use of my Bernina that will tackle more layers especially for upcycling.👍
The Haruka has a piece that comes with the machine that will stop the thread cutting feature. Works great. I agree that the knee lift is in an odd place.
I bought the Juki TL 2010q for my birthday earlier this year and I love it. Regarding the foot pedal thread cutter feature, you can always purchase the stopper for $15 if you're worried about mistakenly cutting the thread. Out of the 3, I would go for the Juki TL-18QVP. I wish I had purchased my Juki a couple of years ago. The Juki TL family of machines is wonderful. Not trying to give anyone a plug but Juki Junkies here on RUclips helped me make my final decision and they have great tutorials on how to use and care for your machine. They also have a Janome Junkies channel. Great machine reviews as usual. 😊
I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, the Juki TL-18QVP is the only machine with the micro lifter to go over thicker fabric. I picked the Juki after testing the HD 9 and Juki at my local dealer. The Juki handled everything I threw at it and then some. Juki needs to improve their foot pedal and I'll probably get an after-market pedal for mine. Other than that, love the Juki.
I have had my Juki TL18 for nearly two years and just love it (much more than my expensive Bernina). It came with an attachment for the foot pedal that keeps me from cutting the thread.
Thank you, I bought the Juki, I agree that would annoy me too. Even though I think the Janome is little more powerful, it also cost more. Girl you are AWESOME love what you do, keep up the good work! Blessings
I have the Juki DX7 and I absolutely love it. I've been looking into getting a straight stitch machine but I can't decide on a industrial type or one of these...your vid helped. Thanks for the comparison 👍
On the accomplish, I had that issue with the thread cutting too short and it ended up I changed the say I threaded the thread through the silver tension piece. Now it's ok!
It was too tight... Skipped the middle hole when threading through this piece. Down first hole, skip middle hole, up through last hole. Hope this helps.
I have had the Juki QVP since it came out and it is very nice. It comes with a lot of feet too! It’s the best in my opinion and does Freemotion quilting very good if I don’t want to get out my longarm or long arms not free.
The real question is how does the Babylock compare to your Singer Heavy Duty and other cheaper machines. Does your Singer HD sew as well or 80% as well?
I have seen some of your Fabricator videos and really enjoyed this comparison video. I would have bought the Fabricator in a heartbeat if it had had a thread cutter!!!! Once you use one, you can't live without it! But then again, I travel a lot and it is NOT portable. So I have been watching and reading about the Juki TL 18qvp with more and more interest and I think your comparison has pushed me over the edge to hit the BUY button! Thank you for your very informative videos on the machines!
I have the Haruka, and the machine is a work horse! The foot pedal has an attachment at the bottom you can use to keep you from using the back pedal option. I use the cutter on top of the machine. Thanks so much for awesome reviews.
I'm so glad I found you!! I was considering exchanging my juki for the HD9, but now will not do that! I agree that the placement of the knee lift is annoying, but I have gotten used to it. THe problem I have with my Haruka is that it suddenly cuts the thread while in the middle of sewing!! Only occasionally, but it happens when I am being extra careful, like around a curve or changing thickness of the fabric, say on a wallet, where there are varying levels. Oh, I use the pedal backwards so I do not accidentally cut the thread. Thank you so much for this video!!!
Juki ❣️all day in in the week or maby a Jack❣️ I sew on an old Husqvarna I got it from my mom when I turn 20, now I am 54 and still got it, I also have a Huskylock. when I was Young I hade a Bernina. I want a Juki baaaadly or maby a Jack.... Thank Y for sharing your test❣️🩷🇸🇪
I enjoy watching all your videos and am so happy for your success. I'm in Australia, not in the market for a sewing machine. I am frustrated due to a bad back. I have HEAPS of fabric and 3 machines but can only sew for a very short time at any go. So I enjoy what you show. So thanks and best wishes.
I actually really enjoy sewing by hand. I am nervous about using a machine. I bought an old one that only has one stitch but I didn't realize that at the time. It took me several weeks to figure it out and then I was just disappointed it only has the zigzag stitch. So, I've not used it since. I recently bought this smaller but new Sunbeam for 10 bucks but I'm waiting on the foot pedal to arrive. It has 12 stitches so I'm excited to use it, I think. 😂 Oh my goodness your channel is so addicting but I must get my behind to work! I look forward to watching more!
Hello I’m French and I bought yesterday the juki tl2300 before seeing your video. I think it’s a good machine.and your test confirm my choice for juki machines thank you. I have hesitated with the brother 1600QS…. ❤
Thanks for the informative video! I'm not in the market for an "almost industrial" machine, but I have purchased a baby lock single needle machine and Juki serger from Montavilla. The company has been wonderful to deal with. Can't wait for your next video!
As a side note to the Juki and the pedal cutting feature. There is a ‘rubber’ heel thingy you can get to stop the e pedal from cutting. I’m in Canada and it didn’t cost a lot for me, less than 5 bucks. I love my beautiful juke beast… a work horse for sure. I’m a Juki fan all the way!!
I enjoyed this video!😍🥰😍 After testing all 3 sewing machines I would choose, the Juki as well. I still think your Sailrite fabricator is the best industrial sewing machine hands down!👍🏽❤️💯
Thank you for sharing!!!! Right now I'm been sewing as a side hustle and my apartment is small and I'm thinking about getting a Singers Heavy Duty because just getting started getting more customers. In the future I would like to go with a Juki. Have a wonderful day and stay CREATIVE 😊 Robin N.Otis-Clayborne
Thanks for this video! I’m a bag maker and use an industrial walking foot Machine but I also have a machine obsession..mainly vintage but new ones too. I’m in uk and first thing I noticed is how the janome is much cheaper here in uk and the juki is much more expensive and in the US it’s the other way around. The hd 9 is very popular here. It’s nice to get an overall comparison with these 3, that was very interesting. I have used the juki at a demo and it was a nice machine.
Wow, that’s very interesting! I wonder where the Janome is manufactured. Maybe that explains the price difference. We kept the Janome and Juki and have no regrets.
Have your needle stop down before you push thread cutter. Your needle ends in up position and the thread isn’t too short. At least this is what I found on my Brother.
Of those, I’d rather have the SailRite Fabricator you have in the background, but I’m very happy with my Juki DU1181n industrial. Not impressed with my BabyLock, and my Janome was not much better.
Cutting the thread too short would eliminate a machine as an option for me. Being able to move from fabric types without having to adjust tension is a huge plus to me. Being able to sew through lots of layers is also huge for me. I’ve been working on a bag with multiple pockets, layers of fabric & special fabric has really been a problem for my Singer Fashionista. Looks like the Juki would be the answer for me. The knee lever concerns me but not enough to put me off. Thanks for your review. Very helpful!! 😊
I NEVER lost a thread with my Juki TL - ALso I use the pedal thread cutter with the tip of my foot while pushing the knee lift. If you're quilting, it is INDISPENSABLE You can get other Juki TL serie that is the same machine ( expect for a third thread tension dial on TL18) and cheaper ( with more or less accessories ) . Doing regular garments sewing=go lower model, do quilting = go higher ( +accessories) , do leather and bag making, =go TL 18 Best investment ever. Since I'm 70 and it will survive me, it will go on my will to someone...
Thank you for the great reviews. I did choose the juki TL2010Q very recently. Most of my piiecing was done on a nice black Singer 301 which is mounted in a Singer cabinet. I do have an older bernina I bought in 1994, but mostly I use vintage Singers. (including treaties 😺😻)
There isn't anything that will surpass the functions of an old Singer. I had one that used to be a treadle. It would sew through your arm if you let it. Unfortunately I lost it when moving. I really miss it.
The Juki has a different pedal, available for purchase, that has two separate pedals in one. One for sewing, and one off to the side for cutting. I want it, but haven't bought it yet,
I find my Brother Strong and tough 150hdh tends to pull the fabric to the left of the machine instead of keeping it centered when I sew 1/4” seam or 1/8” top stitching. What am I doing wrong? I’m an experienced sewist but wanted to sew bags and am on a tight budget.
You didn’t mention that Juki TL18 has a micro lift adjustment on the top left. Where you can adjust how high the foot presser goes up so you can add height to to fit more material like webbing on. Also the juki tl18 comes with a rubber insert to put under to disable the cutting feature. Also go to your local dealer to check prices. They won’t give you the price over the phone but I went in wanting a TL215 because that was in my price range. The dealer sold me a TL18 for $1,200!!! I was shocked. Everywhere online said $1,600. So talk to a dealer. If I didn’t. Go to a dealer I would have got a TL215 online for $1400!!
Also I saw on Amazon a few weeks ago they had the TL18 selling for $1,300 for a short period. And yes my machine was brand new and the dealer gave me free bobbins and one yard of fabric for free. I was shook.
You must be in Portland. I grew up in NE Portland and my mom would take her sewing machine to Montavilla for maintenance after we moved there in 1962 (I was 10 years old). I used to do garment sewing but switched to making quilts years ago. I’m still making quilts and would like to get back into garment sewing but all the fabric stores that were around back in the day are gone now. And I was so sad to hear that Fabric Depot closed. I live in St. George, Utah now and we have five quilt fabric stores. A lot of quilters here! I’d love to know where you buy your fabric. I've been looking at the Juki TL18 as my next sewing machine. I am tired of the computerized machines that can have too much go wrong and have a lot of fancy bells and whistles I never use. Thanks for your review. It was very helpful.
I’d like to have seen the bobbin side as well. Personally I think some of those stitches would have looked better if the size was adjusted and the tension was adjusted. In reality, those settings would be different for those different fabrics.
Can I buy the one you send back 😂open box? 😂😂😂Seriously, thank you for this AWESOME content. I ❤ juki. it's my dream machine. I like the industrial look, too. Feels authentic.
Agree... some older metal sewing machines perform better than those expensive quilting sewing machines. I hate those cheap plastic sounds... they are weak and not fast enough.. However, The DDL-9000C and DDL-8700 take too much space...😢😮😢😢
For me the Sailrite works better for thick layers. There were parts of my bag making process that couldn’t fit under the foot of the Juki, but I don’t have any issues with the Sailrite. On the other hand, the Juki is more enjoyable to sew on during the regular sewing parts like sewing on the zipper and piping.
Ciao sei bravissima, io ho già la tagliacuci yuki, vorrei una macchina da cucire portatile, perché ho poco spazio, però allo stesso tempo robusta non di plastica e che sappia cucire sia i tessuti jeans, pelle, similpelle e anche le stoffe elastiche tipo jersey e cotone elasticizzato quale mi consigli? Grazie mille ciao ❤
It depends. There’s a portion of the bag that I was making in this video that can’t be done on these machines because there’s just too many layers, but I prefer these machines for pretty much every other aspect of making that bag.
Great video! I also chose the Juki TL-18 QVP. Three more advantages to it:
1) It comes with a Foot Switch Stopper that will prevent accidental thread cutting with the foot pedal.
2) It has a Micro-Lifter knob on the upper right of the machine that gives additional lift to the presser foot when necessary. This is helpful when sewing through thick layers of fabric.
3) Its “shaved head” gives excellent visibility when sewing - especially in free-motion quilting and when pivoting in garment sewing and bag making.
Thanks! That’s very helpful for anyone thinking of buying this machine.
I have a Juki and turn my foot pedal around backwards to avoid accidentally cutting thread. I LOVE my Juki!
I do that too! Almost paid 20 bucks for a foot pedal insert, but thought, nah, I'd rather spend that on fabric!!!😅
My husband put a piece of wood in the bottom of mine. No more accidentally cutting thread. That wasn’t a Good idea by the manufacturer
I have been thinking about Juki for several years. However, we have no local dealer or repair shop. So, I'm still sewing on my antique Singers that I can service myself.
I ordered mine from Juki Junkies in FL. They ship anywhere.
I have vintage machines I care for myself, too. My Juki 18QVP is cared for the same as a vintage Singer. Juki Junkies has made RUclips videos for how to care for this machine.

Well to tell you the truth, Juki never was a "cute looking" sewing machine. She comes in to work and work HARD! LOL!
Yesss, and she works darn hard!
Thank you for this video!
I would like to know if there is a semi industrial JUKI or Janome, that makes not only straight stitches, but zig zag , buttonholes, elastic, and aplique stitches…
I want a strong machine
Thank you
Thanks for your nice response. I understand that you are really very talented in this subject, please give me some advice
I don't need a sewing machine design. I will sew vine leaf flowers and round designs using quilting free mutton.
So for me should buy any sewing machine at low price
@@FANIsewbizlook at the Jukis that a made for quilting. They have all the different stitches.

Just saw this review! You just sealed the deal for me, to get the Juki!! Thanks so much!🎉
I have the Janome and absolutely love it. Thank you for the demo❤
Good assessments. As a Juki owner I was cheering at the end. I love my TL2010Q model. But the thread does slip out after using the thread cutter. I will try your solution. And this model is about a grand, with tray and extras.
I’m a little late to this video, however, I purchased the Juki 18QVP in November! I love it! And you just showed all the reasons. The rubber stopper for the pedal was included and I put it on immediately. 😊
In the 1970s I bought a Viking sewing machine, with cams, that the salesperson sewed down a wooden yardstick to demo the power. That was impressive: about a 1/3” thick, wood. He went a long way down the length of the yrdstick. Those days the machines weren’t made in the far East. Ie: My Elna Super was made in Switzerland. Now I just bought a Juki and have been pleased with my fancy Janome and “big bang for your buck”: brother. Back to the past.

My local dealer just had a sale on the Juki for $1299 so I definitely hopped on that!
Niiice! You’re going to love it!
Whoopie, someone from the upper income crowd!

The Sailrite can’t be beat as far as layers, that’s for sure!
I have the HD9BE it does come with the extension table. I never have any issues with losing my thread when i use the one touch cutter.
Great video BTW!!! 🥰👏🏼
Thanks for the informative video. I have used a Janome at our local makerspace, and found it a reliable machine. Nice to see a comparison.
Yes, I ended up keeping this one and I really enjoy sewing on it.
I've got the Brother 1500 and hey it's great, and have LOTS of money left over to buy fabric, LOL
We got that one too instead of the Baby Lock.
Thank you for sharing!!!! Right now I'm been sewing as a side hustle and my apartment is small and I'm thinking about getting a Singers Heavy Duty because just getting started getting more customers. In the future I would like to go with a Juki. Have a wonderful day and stay CREATIVE 😊 Robin N.Otis-Clayborne
Thanks for this video! I’m a bag maker and use an industrial walking foot Machine but I also have a machine obsession..mainly vintage but new ones too. I’m in uk and first thing I noticed is how the janome is much cheaper here in uk and the juki is much more expensive and in the US it’s the other way around. The hd 9 is very popular here. It’s nice to get an overall comparison with these 3, that was very interesting.
I have used the juki at a demo and it was a nice machine.
Wow, that’s very interesting! I wonder where the Janome is manufactured. Maybe that explains the price difference. We kept the Janome and Juki and have no regrets.
Have your needle stop down before you push thread cutter. Your needle ends in up position and the thread isn’t too short. At least this is what I found on my Brother.
Oooh, that makes sense!
Of those, I’d rather have the SailRite Fabricator you have in the background, but I’m very happy with my Juki DU1181n industrial. Not impressed with my BabyLock, and my Janome was not much better.
Cutting the thread too short would eliminate a machine as an option for me. Being able to move from fabric types without having to adjust tension is a huge plus to me. Being able to sew through lots of layers is also huge for me. I’ve been working on a bag with multiple pockets, layers of fabric & special fabric has really been a problem for my Singer Fashionista. Looks like the Juki would be the answer for me. The knee lever concerns me but not enough to put me off. Thanks for your review. Very helpful!! 😊
Thanks this was very informative.
I NEVER lost a thread with my Juki TL - ALso I use the pedal thread cutter with the tip of my foot while pushing the knee lift. If you're quilting, it is INDISPENSABLE You can get other Juki TL serie that is the same machine ( expect for a third thread tension dial on TL18) and cheaper ( with more or less accessories ) . Doing regular garments sewing=go lower model, do quilting = go higher ( +accessories) , do leather and bag making, =go TL 18 Best investment ever. Since I'm 70 and it will survive me, it will go on my will to someone...
The Brother PQ1500SL does a great job also, looks similar to the Baby Lock
Thank you for this wonderful video
Thank you for the great reviews. I did choose the juki TL2010Q very recently.
Most of my piiecing was done on a nice black Singer 301 which is mounted in a Singer cabinet. I do have an older bernina I bought in 1994, but mostly I use vintage Singers. (including treaties 😺😻)
Treadle. I should proofread. 😁)
There isn't anything that will surpass the functions of an old Singer. I had one that used to be a treadle. It would sew through your arm if you let it. Unfortunately I lost it when moving. I really miss it.
The Juki has a different pedal, available for purchase, that has two separate pedals in one. One for sewing, and one off to the side for cutting. I want it, but haven't bought it yet,
Hello im team juki i have a juki electronic machine. And I love it, hopefully someday soon I will be able to afford the juki TLC machines.
Love the machine comparison! But was wondering if that is leather or pleather?
I find my Brother Strong and tough 150hdh tends to pull the fabric to the left of the machine instead of keeping it centered when I sew 1/4” seam or 1/8” top stitching. What am I doing wrong? I’m an experienced sewist but wanted to sew bags and am on a tight budget.
Missouri quilt company uses babylock accomplish and they don’t have trouble with the thread being too short when using cutter
Angelina, could you do a video about adjusting tension on your Sailrite?
You didn’t mention that Juki TL18 has a micro lift adjustment on the top left. Where you can adjust how high the foot presser goes up so you can add height to to fit more material like webbing on. Also the juki tl18 comes with a rubber insert to put under to disable the cutting feature. Also go to your local dealer to check prices. They won’t give you the price over the phone but I went in wanting a TL215 because that was in my price range. The dealer sold me a TL18 for $1,200!!! I was shocked. Everywhere online said $1,600. So talk to a dealer. If I didn’t. Go to a dealer I would have got a TL215 online for $1400!!
Also I saw on Amazon a few weeks ago they had the TL18 selling for $1,300 for a short period. And yes my machine was brand new and the dealer gave me free bobbins and one yard of fabric for free. I was shook.
Juki lover here❤❤❤❤❤
If you are more technical like me upgrading a more affordable machine is a option, the metal frame machines can tolerate a bigger motor.
Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I bought the black hd9 and the thread cutter wasn’t loosing the thread.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!! 🫶🏾
You must be in Portland. I grew up in NE Portland and my mom would take her sewing machine to Montavilla for maintenance after we moved there in 1962 (I was 10 years old). I used to do garment sewing but switched to making quilts years ago. I’m still making quilts and would like to get back into garment sewing but all the fabric stores that were around back in the day are gone now. And I was so sad to hear that Fabric Depot closed. I live in St. George, Utah now and we have five quilt fabric stores. A lot of quilters here! I’d love to know where you buy your fabric. I've been looking at the Juki TL18 as my next sewing machine. I am tired of the computerized machines that can have too much go wrong and have a lot of fancy bells and whistles I never use. Thanks for your review. It was very helpful.
We’re looking the TL18 in the office! I live in Houston but just got to visit Portland for the first time last week. It was great!
Fabric Mart. On the internet. Store in Pennsylvania. They have many sales and quick delivery.
Ken’s sewing center sells the Janome HD9 for $1,500.00
I wish y’all also compared the brother versito with these
I’d like to have seen the bobbin side as well. Personally I think some of those stitches would have looked better if the size was adjusted and the tension was adjusted. In reality, those settings would be different for those different fabrics.
The speed for accomplish is in pedal I believe
Can I buy the one you send back 😂open box? 😂😂😂Seriously, thank you for this AWESOME content. I ❤ juki. it's my dream machine. I like the industrial look, too. Feels authentic.
They’re seriously our dream machines too!
Thank you I am just getting started with my endeavors of sewing I have a Juki ddl 8700 used but can’t find service manual is anyone able to help me
I broke the shaft of my Bernina 750 making bags. I switched to Janome Continental M70, it is a workhorse and much better than Bernina
Nice machines!
All metal sewing machines perform better than plastic ones.😮😮
They tend to be stronger and more of the parts are replaceable so they can last longer.
JUKI is the bomb!!
They should built a Semi-industrial heavy duty sewing machine with zigzag for household use.
Did you change the needle in any of the tests?
Where is the speed adjuster on the Accomplish? I did not see it.
They are not industrial machines. Industrial and these are like night and day. But great video
Agree... some older metal sewing machines perform better than those expensive quilting sewing machines. I hate those cheap plastic sounds... they are weak and not fast enough.. However, The DDL-9000C and DDL-8700 take too much space...😢😮😢😢
What are the differences between the Sailrite fabricator and the juki 18qvp you have reviewed?
For me the Sailrite works better for thick layers. There were parts of my bag making process that couldn’t fit under the foot of the Juki, but I don’t have any issues with the Sailrite. On the other hand, the Juki is more enjoyable to sew on during the regular sewing parts like sewing on the zipper and piping.
Ciao sei bravissima, io ho già la tagliacuci yuki, vorrei una macchina da cucire portatile, perché ho poco spazio, però allo stesso tempo robusta non di plastica e che sappia cucire sia i tessuti jeans, pelle, similpelle e anche le stoffe elastiche tipo jersey e cotone elasticizzato quale mi consigli? Grazie mille ciao ❤
I’d try the Janome HD series of sewing machines. They have everything you listed.
For bag making would you choose the Juki over the sailrite?
It depends. There’s a portion of the bag that I was making in this video that can’t be done on these machines because there’s just too many layers, but I prefer these machines for pretty much every other aspect of making that bag.
Are these good for beginners? How do you feel about the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960?
A beginner could learn on these great, but it only does straight stitches so if they want to learn buttonholes they’d need another machine.
