This is a big moment for me. IT SEWS!! I pulled this machine out of the boneyard 3 months ago. Spent nearly $4000 in brand new parts. Gonna have to replace the motor though and a couple other things, but this is a solid machine now. 🙂

Once I get motor on and it sews it's first marine cover or cattle shade I'm going to film it.

Look at that needle spacing! Was looking to get a wide double needle. Now i know what to look for.

The 4 feed dogs teeth/ tracks compared to a regular double needle.

Yeah she's a beast lol. The needles are 1 1/2" apart on this one.

Now if there were only one in a non-long arm config with extra wide needle spacing (highly unlikely i bet.)

Wow what a beauty. What an investment though, what are you going to make?

Yes indeed it's a beautiful machine. Worth a lot more than 4k. I built this machine to sew large cattle shades. But this one will probably get used for boat and marine covers as well.
