CowboyBob Report post Posted April 26, 2010 Well there's at least 18 models in the book I have & the 269w26 is a Tacker meaning it has a cam the controls the # of stitches & the pattern. This model makes a stitch like what's on your jeans on the belt loop. 28 stitches from start to finish . See scan below. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroyS Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Thanks Bob! I did some research and found the same info you're giving me so this machine isn't for me. I'll have to keep looking... I do appreciate your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Bar tacker machines are perfect for sewing on 3/4" and 1" wide Velcro strips. Lift the foot, position the Velcro under the needle, lower the foot, hit the pedal and in one second it is sewn on with a tight zigzag across the strip. Do that at the center and ends and she's good to go in half a minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
