cdthayer Report post Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome to the LW Forum, idahopatchlady.Are you setting up a “mobile shop” to follow the rally events? Or a brick and mortar shop at one site? What machines are you planning to use for sewing on patches?My wife and I sew embroidered patches on garments at our B&M shop in SW Oklahoma, but have never taken our service mobile. We use a Consew 225 and a Singer 29K70 for the bulk of our patch sewing.We’ve had patches sewn onto our motorcycle vests at a variety of rally sites, but only as customers. The machines that they each used were as varied as the rally sites themselves.CD in Oklahoma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idahopatchlady Report post Posted April 12, 2015 I am setting up a stone and mortar shop. I worked with a local sewing repair to get a good machine with in house service. People are already asking about repairs and I am new at that part. I have gotten a lot of confidence about my ability just from reading through these posts. The machine I bought is a TYPICAL, 18 inch, walking foot, self oil. I will tell you more after I get the shop open. Machine arrives on the 15th, I open May 1st.

Leatherlady1008 Report post Posted June 19, 2017 I know this an older post, but I would really appreciate any advice people can give me about sewing patches over pockets. I'm using a Consew 226R and I'm trying to avoid sewing a patch through an inner and outer pocket that's layered over each other. Please help lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
