Members cdthayer Posted April 11, 2015 Members Report 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 "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members idahopatchlady Posted April 12, 2015 Members Report 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. Quote
Members Leatherlady1008 Posted June 19, 2017 Members Report 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
