  • Am thinking of getting this machine for the local members workshop/makerspace. For heavy duty sewing - bags, leather, canvas, webbing etc

    https://www.sewingmachinery.com/highlead/highlead-GC0618.html

    The GC0618-1SC model is an improved product based on the original Highlead GC0618 and is specially designed for use on medium to heavy weight materials and leather.

    With its powerful feeding system, wider presser foot stroke, higher foot lift and longer stitch length, this sturdy industrial sewing machine can deal with many different types of material and thick sewing threads.

    It features a triple feeding action by way of lower drop feed, needle bar feed and top alternating walking feet. These 3 proven feed devices are optimally timed to work in unison and allow the GC0618-1SC to respond to various heavy duty applications while maintaining a consistent stitched seam quality.

    A horizontal axis double capacity hook is fitted, which increases lower bobbin thread capacity, allowing for fewer bobbin changes which can be of particular use when stitching with the thicker sewing threads associated with heavier materials.

    Anyone have experience with this manufacturer?
