Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and to sewing in general. I've been watching Johns videos for ages now, and trying to learn what I can while using an ancient (1952) Singer domestic machine.
Now its time to splurge on a new machine, to be used for general automotive upholstery
Here in Australia, used machines that aren't older than me are hard to come by and they still command high prices, so I feel the best value for me is a new, mid range model, something like the Seiko STH-8BLD-3
Has anyone had any experience with this model? Good or bad.
I like that's its made in Japan.
Anything cheaper is generally made in China, which is OK, but the quality can be a bit of a lottery.
Bob
