Good point, re: links going stale. Never thought of that. I can only post 1.46MB pics, which aren't big, will post as I can for the curious.

 

Are you posting from a computer? If so, what is the operating system?

If you're posting from a phone, what make and model?

I can post links to photo reducers for various operating systems. But, if your phone or camera has resolution settings, use smaller dimensions, like 3x4 or 1:1. This greatly reduces the file size.

no problems resizing, I'm just on big monitor with high pixel count. Just need to gear down a little.

the stand isn't stock, it's a home-made add-on in pretty rough shape. Steel square tubing painted black, the top looks like it was cut out of a spare peice of countertop. I am going to re-power with servo and bypass all the existing under the table components. That's the plan, anyway.

Nice job on the pics. Thanks for the effort.

Why 5 complete thread stands and guides? It only sews 1 at a time.

Looks like you're going to have fun with it.

I have two patchers at this point in time Since these machines are often used to sew embroidered patches onto vests and jackets, and border colors vary, it is common practice to have multiple colors of thread ready to go on the machine's thread stand. My practice is to cut off the existing thread color about 8 inches from the thread stand, then pull the new color up, tie the ends together and pull them through the machine. I cut off above the knot, then thread the needle and sew the next patch with its matching color thread on top. Most of my stands have 4 spool holders. One has 5 and I frequently have to swap out spools to get a best color match. There are various shades of colors used on patches.
