T&T: Sewing machines

[Otis ltd]

Hello all:
I am looking for a sewing machine that will be able to sew canvas/ sunbrella.
No long term use but jobs like new seat covers and dinghy cover, etc.
I have heard good and bad about Sailrite machines.
What say the group about this type of machine and others?
OBTW, would love to find good used machine (read CHEAP).
