It should be fine to get you started. It is designed for heavy materials and the feet are interchangeable with with some Juki's and Chandler/Consew machines.

I ended up going with a consew 206. Thanks though!

New or used?

Used

He said he had a technician go through it. It was a back up machine hardly used.

Congrats on the new machine!

I had one few years back hated it. It was advertised as walking foot but was actually needle feed with a walking foot attachment it didnt actually feed with the foot. Tons of issues. Sold it for 200 bucks lol
