Re: Ricoma, any thoughts??
Stay away from the Ricoma. Stay away from anything but Tajima, Barudan, Brother. If you want qaulity sewing with a quality machine you will stay away from Ricoma. Here are a couple of reasons why.
1. The sewing quality is not that good.
2. The quality of the machine.
3. The re-sale value of the machine when you decide to resell it or trade it in for something bigger. Ask the dealer that you are buying it from what he will give you for the machine in 1 year. I don't think you will like what you hear. Ask a Tajima, Barudan, or Brother rep the same thing and you will be happy with the answer.
In this business you get what you pay for. If you want to be succesful you have to have good equipment that doesen' break down. If your machine isn't running your not making money. You might have to pay a little more money to get the machine your really want but it is worth it in the end.
Take it from someone who has owned just about every brand of machine out there. Stick with the Japanese made machines and you won't go wrong.
