    The mother is looking for one after her Jones pedal broke (I went into a sewing place and the connector is old old and can’t get replacement or repair it)

    She rang the place in Talbot street, and he said he has a Janome 740 (I cannot find it, but can find a 740Dc) and said its worth E750 but said E650 or E620 I THINK (waiting on whatsapp reply), out of box as well

    She does general stuff, like say curtains, trousers etc, all for the house not like a business or loads of people and she is not sure on budget

    She did get a Singer one in lidl but something about can’t get hang of it and doesn’t do as much as she thought

    Thanks for any ideas etc, I know it is a big vague (the Jones machine was given to her YEARS ago so not like can say she spent x on last machine)

    I think 'heavy duty' suggests industrial level! I would recommend the Janome brand. I got Janome 525S a couple of years ago. I had used a Singer electric for 40 odd years til wore out the gears and spend more on repairs than cost of new one. The 'new' Singers are not the same as the old, company taken over 10 yrs or so ago and not the same quality.

    PM me for contact of where I bought my machine. It was recommended by repair chap and he supplied same to schools/colleges.

    I think thats her way of saying it covers all, like she doesn't want to get one and say do curtains and find the machine is struggling etc

    Ill send PM now, thanks
