Barracuda 200ZW

The Reliable Barracuda 200ZW replaces Reliable 2000-U33.

The Craftsman Kit with Cuda Case and 120TL LED puts together an essential package for sailing and sewing enthusiasts. Designed and made for boat owners, hobbyists, and small businesses, the 200ZW is ideal for medium to heavy-weight sewing jobs. With a stitch quality comparable to an industrial machine, even 8 layers of Sunbrella Plus is no match for the Barracuda. With top and bottom feeding, it produces a perfect, even stitches, even when sewing over challenging materials.

Walking foot sewing machines work best for medium to heavyweight material.  It is not suitable for thin fabrics used to produce masks or gowns.
