Tacsew leather walking foot sewing machine T111-155
Description: This is a Tacsew T111-155 compound feed(walking foot), needle feed, self oiling, straight stitch sewing machine with reverse. The machines are BRAND NEW in sealed cartons. This machine uses a double capacity M class bobbin. They come complete with a Setup DVD, 1/2 hp 1725 RPM low speed clutch motor, table(stand), thread stand, bobbin winder, drawer, light, and accessories(needle, etc.). For an additional $99 you can upgrade the motor to a 3/4 hp 550W servo motor. A servo motor gives you more control then a clutch motor.
Competitor's Machines: A few words about our competitor's who claim there machines are better then the Tacsew T111-155. The Morse machines and others like it do not have the compound feed (needle feed) where the needle and the middle presser foot walk together with the feeding system. This device ensures a much more even stitch. The needle, the feed dog and the presser foot work together on the Tacsew, not on the Morse and the other competition. The needle and feed dog on the Morse and the others alternate. The needle and feed dog do not work together. They may say that their machines are similar or better then the T111-155, but they are missing a very important feature, the compound feed (needle feed). See the two picture below for a side by side comparison of the feeding systems.
