Good sewing machine for canvas work, examples? Results?
Curious, my mother (63 years of age) makes sails for the local area. She has
owned a Singer model 24-11 for decades. It has an 18 inch reach, lower walking foot only, and with one available feature; reverse. There is no zig-zag which my mother says only makes the seams strech more under load. I don't know if this is true, but to make a long story short, this machine has a huge motor, a seperate oil tank and pump to keep the machine lubed. I've seen this thing handle the finest of fabrics as well multiple layers of leather without any problems. I've worked as an installer for a small inland marine dealer for years now but am seriously considering getting into the business with my mother. I'm already spend my weekends in her shop helping out. Just a thought..... Dennis |
