Christopher X. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this machine to sew heavy marine vinyl for boat covers, and the adjustable stitch length really helps with thicker materials. The build quality feels solid, and it handles multiple layers without skipping stitches.

Steven ★★★★★

The walking foot handles multiple layers of marine vinyl like a dream, and the feed rate is consistent even when stitching thick canvas. I finished a custom boat bimini top in half the time my old machine took.

Jason ★★★★★

I switched from a domestic machine to the 797 for my leather wallets, and the difference in power is night and day. It walks through layered upholstery vinyl without skipping a stitch. The walking foot really keeps everything aligned through thick seams.
