Hey every one I have been lurking around this site for a year or so and seem to be getting good information, so I thought I would join. I am not a hammock camper but plan on making one. I am on a tarp project right now. I am in the market for a sewing machine and have watched the Rev's series "we don't sew we make gear". A lot of good info thanks rev. I have choice between 3 machines. The Janome HD3000, Magnolia 7330, or Viking Emerald 116. I have been practicing on some silnylon 2nds with my sisters brother XL3750,and comfortable enough to say I am not going to use it for my Tarp project as it is extremely difficult to get consistent seam length...Anyway the sewing shop guy was steering me to the HD3000 because of the adjustable pressure on the presser foot, and the range of fabrics I plan on using.. Ie: neoprene, fleece, light canvas or condura, and silnylon. Is the needle stop up/down a good feature, my thoughts were I could always manually just turn the wheel... Looking for advice or opinions, things to keep in mind about the features, etc. I would even consider another model, but the 3 I have listed are within my budget and seemed to fit my needs so...
Thanks in advance!
