My Tru-Lock is a heavy metal 3 thread over locker, a very dependable machine and over or nearly 30 years old.
- Where did I buy it? I can't remember the brand of sewing machines in the shop, so have no idea who made this brand. It could be Janome, Brother, Babylock who knows? Today I noticed that the brand Brother is stamped on the machine foot. (but I think that was replaced 15 years ago so may not be the original).
- Is it hard to thread? Yes it is ( mainly the lower lopper) but you get used to it, very simple to work out when it's been threaded wrong......
- Has it a Light? No it hasn't but I am told you can put one on.......I haven't bothered.
- Is it Portable? Yes but it's so heavy and not easy to lift so best left on the sewing table....
- Has it automatic tension? No you adjust the dials manually........
- What stitches does it do? Just a three thread stretch stitch......
- Does it have differential feed? No it's too old for that!
- What fabrics does it handle? Most with adjustments but I hate using polar fleece because it blunts the knife
