Default Sewing machines again?

Sounds like the 550 is your best bet, but how long will it take to
recover the cost, or does that not really matter?


Based on the quotes I have gotten from some canvas shops the payback
is about one cockpit cushion. :-) It appears that they make a good
percentage of their revenue from the fabric sale and I already have a
30 yard bolt of Sunbrella. If this machine survives 6 cushions, the
Bimini and a few hatch and Dorade covers I will be in good shape.

The best news of the weekend however is that SHMBO after inspecting my
handiwork on the sample cushion cover took pity on me and volunteered
to do the sewing as long as it wasn't on her machine. :-)


You can't get a better deal than that!
