Preface The Reliable Barracuda 200ZW zig-zag and straight stitch portable walking-foot machine is remarkably versatile. Designed for boat owners, hobbyists, and small businesses, the Barracuda is ideal for medium-to-heavy-weight sewing jobs. SMALL SIZE, BIG PERFORMANCE With a stitch quality comparable to an industrial machine, there’s no job too big for the Barracuda. With top and bottom feeding, it produces a perfect, even stitch, even when sewing over challenging materials.
