[quote=MN3]yes sailcloth / tramp / bimini etc machines are high qual/super strong. the industry standard is the Pfaff and they are extremely expensive (used ones start around 2k).
even then... these machines struggle to get through thick layers and often break.
I do have a friend that purchased a machine online for under 300 and we have done some repairs with it with success. i dont know the brand but it was a Japanese model.
Sailrite sells units for around 1600 that seem to work ok.
My last gf was a fashion designer and she did a repair on my luff by hand. she used a regular needle and she did an incredible job. it took her about an hour and it was a 2" repair. [/quote]
