Once upon a time, Meistergram was a German made machine that offered a unique stitch. However the name has been sold a couple of times and you can now find it on a standard chinese made machine for around $10K new. The only problem is that the machine's longevity isn't worth poop. I serviced a Meistergram several months ago because it wasn't trimming correctly and I found that it was due to the needles not being calibrated correctly. Yes! All of the needles needed adjusting as well as the trimmer system and the customer told me that the salesman who sold it to her wouldn't return her calls. Go figure. Her sister bought the same machine at the same time as she did and she has already had two broken reciprocators in less than a year. They are just made so cheap it's scary!!
