That is a nice machine !
I bought a Consew with the walking foot . I spent ages battling with the touchy clutch and the horrid high speed . After many frustrating hours I was sort of getting semi skilled and I could do reasonable stuff. Trouble is, after you leave it for 6 months you have to re learn how to control it . I ended up doing this mod . It now does around 2 stich per second , not 60 . I made the small pullies on my lathe . You can do quite a lot on a domestic machine . I bought 2 Janome's from the op shop and they are great for seat covers . I live in a horse mad area, and there are horse rug repairers here , they all seem to use the old Singer 132 K6 . The K6 was a classic and they are still worth 2$k or more BTW a VMVC member is a car upholsterer by trade and he gives lessons to any members willing to have a go Mike
