Hi, I watched the video and it was a good one. Thank-You for the heads up on the reverse. I agree it's not a huge deal , but I would have been surprised not knowing this. I guess I would rather have reverse than not but I will take that into consideration. The good part is it comes with everything I need to start up. If the shipping isn't to bad than I wouldn't mind the price.  Thanks again,  ginnyd

I e-mailed Bob and he said he has a Consew 225, table and everything for 600 plus shipping. I was figuring around 200 hundred for shipping. Does that sound good ? I will call him today yo get more on the running of it. I'm excited. I may have a machine here. What's your opinion?  ginnyd

wow, thanks so much for this helpful information. I really appreciate it. ginnyd

 has anybody done business with a man in Turner ,Me.?  I found his add on Craig s list,Me. I have e-mailed him and he has a shop with several machines and told me I could come by an try them . He was very informative and helpful  about walking feet machines. it sounds like it might be a good idea and I could pick it up, if I find one . His prices seemed reasonable. I have to see them to figure that out. Yes i am A type A and need a heavy duty so I could do couches, chairs cushions and anything that may come my way, health permitting !

Hi thank-you for all your great information. ...Yes I have Remitting/Relapsing MS .It rears it's head about every 6-7 yrs. so far . It takes me right out from under my feet in every direction but it tappers off and then calms down and I manage after hard work to get almost back to normal. Each time has been a different part of my body but the last time it was all of them combined. Not good. So I was able to go on Rebiff ,I have been good so far , but it also has only been 4 yrs since I started it. My Neurologist said I could n't plan on it only happening every 6-7 so I really should do this Rebiff. Also a steroid can stop the exacerbation quickly if I receive it as soon as I feel it starting again. I hate giving myself, and depending on others, injections but at this point the alternative is much worst. They just came out with an oral medicine but it has only been on the market for 2-3 years and very expensive.  Sorry to go on and on. There is just so much to it. How is the M.S. affecting you? I truly believe that keeping positive,eating well and being happy all helps with any illness.  I decided to start back at Upholstering because that is what I know,And I need an income. I worry about the heavy furniture moving but am trying to set up my work room so it won't be so bad. I plan to have help moving it in and out. Unfortunately i have been spouseless for many yrs now so I don't have a helper at home. Well Take Care, Nice to meet you here, Ginnyd

Does anyone have a good industrial walking foot and table/spool holder/ect for a reasonable price?I would love a juki 206 as similar. I live on an Island in Me. so I could either come get it or ship it. Thanks for your help. Ginnyd

is it a new machine from a distributor, or used coming from a 3rd party? if it is new, I would find a seller who offers free shipping, when I bought my consew I shopped around and finally found a place that had free shipping which saved me about 200 bucks....if it is 3rd party it will have to be shipped via truck in a crate and will cost ya a few hundred

Thank-You for your help. It is someone I found on craig's list though they said they were selling some of there inventory., but there not willing to ship anything but locally. I'm trying to find a walking foot machine w/table at a reasonable price. i have always used my brother straight foot for everything but an upholstery friend said i really should have a walking foot for cushions, which i admit are alway a bit challenging because of the pull and stretch factor but I didn't realize that is a better way, ha ha. I'm just a one man band so and just getting back into this after a bout with M.S. so if it have any info on this, that would be great. Do you think a walking foot would make all the difference ? Thanks for your input. Ginnyd

Just to get a general idea, you could start here:

Just enter the to/from zip codes, size, weight of crate, etc. (I would guess approx. 200lbs, 4ft.X4ft. crate).

It will certainly help if the sender can disassemble the table.

I got a feeling the shipping cost is going to make a "good deal" suddenly seem "not so good". ;)

Thank-You for your help. I since have learned that when someone states ship local only means that they are not willing to do anything further,no matter what. To bad it sounded like a great deal.. But now I  know how to figure out the shipping cost. i'm trying to find a walking foot machine so I can do cushions easier. I have always sewn them on my brother- straight foot, but, i am told  it would be so much easier to have a walking foot and they don't know how I have done with out? Do you have any thoughts on that? Thanks again!

I found a machine in Texas that is just what I want and sounds like a good price. Does anybody have any idea what shipping cost could be for an industrial machine with table going from Kemel,Texas To Maine would be. I don't know where to start looking for as a shipping comp. or I would figure this out myself and decide if it is worth pursuing. Thanks, Ginnyd
