raysouth Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Posted June 14, 2012 Hello Sylvia. Thank you for the suggestions. Will probably get brave in next day or so, and begin by attempting to wind a bobbin full of thread. Then on to some scraps. Recent events have curtailed a lot of additional activities and wife said I should sell all of my leatherworking goodies. A woman from Birmingham visited a short time ago and said I should call her if I decided to sell the leathercraft items, ( I have a load of tools and other supplies), but I really wanted to try machine sewing, and will figure out why soon. ckl. Amazing how much we can gather together and never give it a thought. Hard to understand where I got all these goodies but must have been fun along the way. I think I should call the "pickers" and let them go through the shop. Might be fun. On a serious note, I enjoy leathercrafting and do a good bit of pyrography on leather. Previously on wood until I found how pleasant it was to do on leather. Again, thank you for the suggestions and will see what transpires in days to come. God Bless. Ray Ray: Just like any machine it takes some time to learn to run. As the others have said... start slow, practice on scrap, keep the fingers out of the way.... but don't be too afraid of it. It's just a machine. As for High Speed internet. You might want to consider Satellite DSL. Here's a link to one provider. http://www.hughesnet...ernet/plans.cfm 1mbps is plenty of bandwidth to watch some videos online. sylv Quote
Members Stan Posted May 22, 2015 Members Report Posted May 22, 2015 Howdy! Google Arthur Porter on the videos on "You Tube". He is the coolest man alive and has videos about using all kinds of machines. The best part is, he will make a "mistake" and show how to fix it. His videos are sometimes - long - , but very well worth your time. Good Luck, Stan Quote
