nychi Report post Posted February 17, 2015 This winter has been brutally cold and snowy! Hello just wanted to introduce myself. I am a seamstress for almost 5 years now which I know isn't much compared to some people. I mostly sew and sell for pet owners online whether it be for the pets themselves or a little something for the humans. I love my line of work and wanted to further into the leather/pleather area. I found this forum while looking for sewing machines that would work with what I do. I have met a couple of members already on the live chat and have found lots of helpful advice! They have guided me into looking at the Juki 1508 and it looks very promising! I would love to enhance my dog carriers that I make now out of velboa/minky/canvas and my home machine has been having hiccups on the tough layers so here i am! I hope to make some great items along the way and maybe some awesome online friends as I am a very friendly person Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel G Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Hey nychi, What part of the island are you on? Would be great to start a meet up with some of the NY members. I work mainly with chrome tanned leather. I make boxing equipment as a hobby, but looking to kick it up a notch. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gonzalez-Boxing/502990223088621 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dawg Club Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Thank-you! I have a Juki DSU-145 cylinder machine with just a left toe. But with all the practice I've had....I can do them on any machine now. Lol But it is easier at time on Juki. Actually my Juki is going on craigslist and on for sale section of forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel G Report post Posted March 4, 2015 Thank-you! I have a Juki DSU-145 cylinder machine with just a left toe. But with all the practice I've had....I can do them on any machine now. Lol But it is easier at time on Juki. Actually my Juki is going on craigslist and on for sale section of forum. Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to try to shave the front of the center foot on my Consew 206, so I can get a better view of the needle positioning. Going to ask in the sewing section if anyone has done this. Good luck with the sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
