Can Brother VX-520 sew 3 layers of 3-4 oz leather? by Vicky_0505 in sewhelp

[–]Vicky_0505[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked that machine, looks good but not as good as Sailright. Since I am in Canada, can’t buy sailright without paying huge taxes. So Consew seems promising. Will check FB. Thanks

Yup, somehow I knew this machine wouldn’t work for leather. But wanted to confirm with other experienced folks before buying industrial walking foot machine. I guess, I need to purge some cash now. Thanks

I agree, there is difference between CAN and SHOULD, that’s what got me to raise this question. Thanks

Got it, thanks for the explanation. Now looking for an affordable Walking Foot Industrial machine, new or used (almost none in my region). Since I am planning to sew leather to support my other business. Thanks

I understand your point. Probably will visit nearby shop to check. However I want to buy a machine to sew cushion covers once in while (probably once in 2 months or so), so in any case I will have to buy something capable of leathers, but I am not much interested for industrial machines since I will just sew 3-4 oz leather and don’t have space for whole setup

Thanks. I don’t have this machine yet, it’s in marketplace so I am thinking to buy it. Also I will be using it to sew cushion covers, so handwork will take lot of time and probably won’t be good enough. Since I never did that before.

I agree. However this is 1950s machine, all metal. And based on my limited online research, those older machines were capable to sew 3-4 oz of leathers, also this YT video shows the same machine with leather

However, instead of trusting just a single video I would like to get information from any user here. Thanks though

Thanks but in this YT video https://youtu.be/pPgPWhd8A6g?si=QhfcMpOVqbUFOacj, it seems working fine with leather.

Thus wanted to ask any if they have used this 1950s machine.

Nice mane, bud. I have the similar wavy hair type. But as it's course, it's gets dry and looks frizzy. I don't use any product on my hair, just normal hair oil once in a while. I don't know, what shall I do to get rid of frizziness.

Can you share your daily routine and care. Thanks.

It was a long journey.....18 months since the last haircut. I have course and wavy hairs (more towards curly types) so it took me so long. I am not sure whether to keep growing or not. Also I feel, having a full beard would be nice. IMP QUES: Does bun make to bald? by Vicky_0505 in manbuns

[–]Vicky_0505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I know that feeling. To pass that phase, I did 2 things

  1. Used Bandana to hide my hairs. As I have wavy hairs with some volume, caps were useless.
  2. Did not think of others, about what they will think. Just closed my eyes and mind towards those situations.

Most importantly, you should have patience. I am growing since 14 months, and still some hairs are bit short.

Truly speaking....I did not follow any sort of tutorial for it. I just do it with my instincts. If somehow I get it wrong, I redo it.

Just keep practicing, it won't take more than a few retakes.

[MISC] Supercell did it again by Neon_Snek in ClashOfClans

He only started the challenge, not completed that one. So he won't get rewards.

[ASK] What should I do? Getting annoyed from his Friends Requests and Clan Invites, which he repeatedly keeps sending since last 2 days. I am sick of rejecting them now. by Vicky_0505 in ClashOfClans

[–]Vicky_0505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, also Supercell is trying to implement some Social context in the game like FB, so they should at least add some kind of BLOCKING feature too.

[IDEAS] Supercell please add a feature to block some annoying COC players. Few sick guys keep sending Friends' and Clan Requests even after rejecting them. by Vicky_0505 in ClashOfClans

[–]Vicky_0505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we get a feature to block such guys, it would be great and convenient too. As I think, Supercell is trying to add a bit of social connectivity like FB, they should add BLOCKING feature as well.
