I am wondering what kind of sewing machine you have to do the heavy sewing on the belt loops and thick seams. I have a janome 2010 but am afraid to do that on this machine because these types of machine can jump time. what about the machine that singer is advertising the heavy duty one, it is gray and can’t think exactly what it is called.
