Sewing machine for canvas,Which brand??

My wife has a basic Singer machine and wants something better with the ability to sew
some cavas or eisenglass. Without breaking the bank, what machine are you folks using for these purposes? Thanks Charlie

Buy some small pieces of the materials you want to sew. You can tell if the machine can handle them by the speed it runs at.
If you cut out and pin the pieces together ? Take them to a real sewing place. Should be much cheaper than buying a machine. Neat enough sewing there ? Ask to see some of their work.
I have a Sail Shop do all my sewing. Great
