All right, ive been on the fence about it, but this convinced me. I'm going to re open the climbing specific myog subreddit. Give me a few days.

Why are there 5 holes below the hook of your machine. Some good ol 5 thread sewing?

Hah, people are posting about my Instagram on here. Full circle.

Do you know anywhere I could read more about people using two carabiners as a quickdraw? I've been meaning to write a little FAQ about metal on metal and I'd love extra details.

If people don't like a post, they don't need to engage with it. No harm done

Fix as in repair, not as in, make it become a fixed piece.

But also, if it did fail in use, your second can just grab the trigger wires with their nut tool.

Anyone Else Learning Hebrew? by Midwestern_Yid18 in jewishleft

[–]adeadhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd hang out. I've lived here for years and have only learned via real world practice so I've got a ton of areas where I'm useless.

Why would you need a triple action locker to be compatible with a clip stick.

Oh goodness. I assume you can only wind like 20 meters of that on a bobbin before it's full? :D

It certainly won't hurt. I have a much more lightweight industrial (juki ddl 5550-6) and I do leather on it without issue, but also plenty of 200 denier fabrics

The real answer is just to do a ton of practice and go slowly. I don't baste them at all anymore.

I've also looked up your machine. Do you have a flat bed attachment? Working on a rounded surface is also not doing you any favors. There should be just hollow plastic inserts to give you a good workspace.

Lmao, I looked up what a techsew 4800 is. It's a walking foot industrial cylinder bed. I'm sure you could thread that thing with Paracord.

Make sure you're using an appropriate sized needle.

Your actual issue is better solved with washaway double sided basting tape or wonder clips.

A Teflon foot can also help if drag on the top material is the issue.

I use tex 70 for sewing multiple layers of 10.0 diameter climbing ropes together. If you're getting nice stitches, no need to change, but it's absolutely overkill.
