The sewing machine is a custom 18" long arm machine by Sailrite set up with a MC-SCR power system. The 18" under the arm makes working with clear vinyl panels so much easier. There are many people that sell them. You can get cheap china made units or better units made in Japan like this 18" machine.
Reliable is one producer as is Juki and others.
This machine will punch through most anything. Also it will sew a 138 thread and PTFE lifetime thread.
I also have an LTZ Sailrite machine. The Sailrite machine aren't cheap but there isn't any issues with getting it set up to sew regarding timing and thread tension etc.
I have an old Singer sitting in a shed in AZ that my in-laws are holding for me but the shipping and getting it set is $$$.
Maybe someday I'll get it home here on the east coast.
