    Space under the arm is one problem. A walking pressure foot is
    almost a necessity. A LARGE flywheel is necessary. A solid machine
    is necessary. Most home sewing pagemachines don't have any of these
    features.

    Check out this site. They will send you a catalog if you request
    it. They also have the whole catalog accessible on their web.
