I have a Singer XL1, which was made by Juki. I bought it in the early 90s, and it's a wonderful machine. I love the thread cutter and the needle threader, and that the distance between the standard needle position and the edge of the foot is 1.5 cm, the standard sewing pattern seam allowance.
Every so often I consider replacing it, but there's nothing so far that's worth the extra money.
I had no knowledge of Juki or Baby Lock origins. Thank you.
Juki is my staple . I started with the DL 5500 series and was hooked .. I now have the DL 8700 and a 5 thread overlocker . Love 💕
Thank you so much for the interesting history. I've definitely learned quite a bit since reading your newsletters!
So interesting! I hadn't thought about how all these brands came to be.
