SEWING MACHINE RENTALS:

They work wonderful for bag making, and although they are powerhouse machines, they are not "industrial", making them very easy to use. Just thread and stitch! (Note: They are only straight stitch machines. Brief threading and usage instructions will be provided if required.) 

Included with rental: 

• Extension Table 
• 1 x Standard Straight Stitch Foot
• 1 x Zipper Foot (Other feet available upon request)
