Moderator Art Posted December 13, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 13, 2015 If I am ever in need of a bondage item I'll call Wiz. I was wondering what Wiz did on those long cold nights up in Michigan. Art Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Moderator Art Posted December 13, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 13, 2015 I do so little repair anymore, mostly my own machines and some of the sail and canvas crowd I have paled with for ages. I order my parts through a dealer I have bought from since my wife's first Elna in '73. When the home machines break (excepting the 221s and 222s, and 201s, I understand old singers), I just take them to the dealer, I don't ask questions and I pay whatever. I did take apart a cheap ($100 new) Bernina one time, and the build quality was so bad I just took the parts to my dealer and told him to use it for a parts machine. Develop a relationship with a dealer. Don't buy crap (even Pfaff) from a factory closeout if you don't know what you are doing, and please don't expect the dealer to fix or adjust something you bought off of eBay or Craig's List. This is just common business courtesy and common sense. And another thing, if you don't know what you are doing, buy a new machine from a dealer, would you rather be sewing, or turning screwdrivers?

Members Darren Brosowski Posted December 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 15, 2015 My initial knowledge of sewing came from an ex girlfriend who has been sewing from the age of 15. She started out on a factory floor churning out garments but taught herself patternmaking and eventually developed her own clothing range. Somewhere in that mix she spend time doing custom work for one of the biggest bondage wear suppliers in Australia. While it is not the most pleasant industry she did learn a lot about sewing odd materials and many is the time she has provided the right answer to difficult questions. It is good to have a partner who can sew and knows about odd materials Wiz and Art, I'm laughing out loud reading that. New and improved, PM Wiz both for sewing equipment and now bdsm gear! Quote

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted December 15, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Ironically, that was totally on topic......How not to respond to advice: Erroneously publicly state the person giving advice is a specialist in bdsm scene gear...... Funny thing is my partner and I, as a custom shop, do occasionally make strange items from time to time. It's not my specialty, but if it needs to be sewn, I can do it. How much weight it takes before it slips off the boys; that's another matter.
