Members Oscar B Posted March 14, 2007 Members Report Posted March 14, 2007 I wounder if someone could give the basics of using a sewing Mach. Quote Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

Moderator Johanna Posted March 14, 2007 Moderator Report Posted March 14, 2007 So much of that depends on the type of sewing you intend to do, and the style/brand of the machine you are using. I highly recommend learning on leather you don't care about, and taking your time. Always observe safety precautions. No one wants to have to ask to be driven to the ER so the docs can laugh as they carefully cut the threads you just neatly sewed into your other hand, and the leather you were working on. Be more specific with your question, Oscar, and you'll get more exact feedback. There are probably guys here who have modified the wife's home machine with an old engine they pulled from a Datsun and can sew leather or lace.
