Shoulda checked before I went. well. The White machine is all metal case, gonna open it up to oil and clean.. then see if its all metal gears... since it has identical front load Class 15 bobbin case system to the Janome New Home 620 and the Riccar 2925 Black Beauty school machine.. probably from the same basic parts and factories... maybe will work better than those two as these two haven' been sewing as good on BDU cotton fabric with all purpose threads.Wife says it won't do what you want. Don't waste your money. She says home sewing machines aren't good enough for heavy duty work even if they say "heavy duty."
