  • She is a rental for some specialist work where I couldnā€™t rely on my walking foot, but they offered to sell her to me, and itā€™s hard not to say yes. The thing is though sheā€™s 160kg! If I buy her Iā€™m forever committing to hiring help to move workshop (which I have to do 1-3 times a year).

    Btw sheā€™s a mid 70s LG-158, can be threaded up with two parallel needles, has a walking needle too, which is faster than the more modern 158s and leaves fewer ā€œtrackingā€ marks on leather and waxed cotton than my standard walking foot.
