Thanks for the video! I just bought a Bonis A. Struggling and this video helped a lot! And yes we sew FUR. You "lost" a subscriber, but gained another! Best wishes!
What an awesome machine! I've had/have industrial blind hemmers, straight, zig-zag, and overlock machines, even a leather sewing machine for shoe repairs, but I've never seen one of these. I would love to see you make a hat, shawl or a wrap with your scrap furs. BTW, I really love your boots!
I’d love it if regular machines didn’t need bobbins! This is cool! I have some of my great grandmothers fur pieces but couldn’t tell how they were made so this is cool to learn.
I would really love to see you make a fur jacket. Or, maybe a pair of fur booties ? And/or a stole ? This machine looks like it works great, and, it seems to sew fur together easily. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel. Take care and God Bless. 😻❣️😍
That machine is fascinating and so interesting! Thank you for sharing. I would love to see what you could make with the scraps. I have a bit of mink left over from an alteration that I thought I would use on the pocket edge of a tweed jacket.
I love vintage and antique machines - they were intended to be repaired and used for years, unlike their modern counterparts, sadly. That's an awesome machine! Would it also work on synthetic fur as well? I would like to see what you can come up with using those scraps!
@@SewAnastasia I want to ask what thread should be used for sewing fur, in this type of machine, I have just bought this machine, I have just started to make teddy bears, I also want to tell you I don't want to sew natural fur, I want to sew artificial fur which is made in factory
Yes, I would love to see you make something out of those scraps! Btw about how much would an old used firm machine cell for now a days Also, it seems to me that the firm machine really could sew together for even though the full fur backing is knitted I’d be tempted to give it a try. Also, what type of thread does one have to use to sew the fur? I also have a lot of fur I’d like to make different things with. Look forward to hearing from you ! Thank you !
So interesting and yes make something, how fun. Love the broach by the way. Also could you do a video on sewing machines, I am thinking about upgrading but don't want to break the bank, but not sure really what to look for. I just know i wish I would have never got rid of my mother's old singer bentwood case machine, the other 3 I have had have been not the best.
I love that sewing machine. I have one. My hobbie is tanning, cutting and sewing rabbit fur. I have many hats and necks. Best regards from Argentina. ❤
@@tracyelsinger1088 Oh yes, and poaching animals to the brink of exrtinction is much better? You do realize that the animals poach for their pelt also affects the ecosystem right? At least with microplastics and polimer material, there are still ways to get rid of them instead of the landfill.
@@tracyelsinger1088 Ms. Elsinger, if we are to have a civil and healthy debate, I must insist that you refrain from using a patronizing and condescending tone. First, I must make clear that I do not speak for, nor affiliate with, animal rights activists, vegan extremists and other organizations that work towards the preservation of the environment and the lives that depend on it. I simply wish to state facts and spread knowledge and education to any who would be interested. I would be happy to share my resources with you and you can come to an objective conclusion for yourself, if you wish. Now, down to brass tacks. You say that the fur trade is regulated. What evidence do you have? Where did you hear this? It is true that the fur trade, known today as fur industry, has been around for decades. I suppose “poaching” was not the correct term. “Fur farms” is the modern-day terminology. Here is my stance, companies like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermes, Furla, MaxMara and more claim they source their fur from certified suppliers. But the truth is not so. They either are ignorant or turn a blind eye to the processes that happen behind the scenes that bring them so much profit. Gone are the days where trappers trek out into the wild and cold to get fur out of necessity. These days, fur farms are used to make high volumes of product for big companies to profit from. As the demand is so high, the welfare of these animals is abysmally neglected.

I really hope it's not real animal skin, it's horrible. But considering I saw a tail it's very likely that it was. This is really horrible. The way they treat animals to remove their skin is extremely cruel, only human monsters are capable of such things. These animals are alive, since otherwise the hair would fall out. It's great that the machine can sew many layers of fabric, but this video has time really creepy stuff on it. In general, I like your videos, but not this one.
This video shows a similar machine used on a sheepskin bomber jacket. Note the use of an awl to tuck the fluff when stitching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yNO5suTm8q8.htmlfeature=shared
Resourcefulness runs in your family! Yes to the racoon scrap project...hmmm a detachable fur collar? Or a cute vintage style hat...something that would otherwise cost a million billion dollars! Can't wait to see the cool concept you come up with. Great video, thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic demo! I love the whole world of weird and peculiar sewing machines. The most weird machine I have is just a needle-feed cylinder arm machine, but if I had the space I'd probably have a chain stitch embroidery machine, an off-the-arm 4 needle flatlock machine, and who knows what else! I think piecing together a fur collar and sewing it into a textile coat would be an interesting project. That would show off putting together the collar itself from the pieces of fur, and also how to join the fur to regular fabrics. Also I'd still love to know how it handles faux fur. Also fun fact: one of my neighbours I lived next to when I was a kid was a professional fur tailor. I never really got to see him work, but I have no doubt he was using machines like this every day for his whole career.
Watching how a mink fur coat is made is really cool. They cut it into a million little strips then sew it all back together so it blends! Thanks for watching :)
Btw I forgot to ask you… what fur weight does your machine stitch and sew - medium or heavy? Regardless, could you point me in the right direction of the correct machine that would stitch fox for raccoon mink ? Thank you look forward to hearing from you !
I leave this comment with a heavy heart! I have always enjoyed your tutorials. I'm sorry to say. As you have no problem sewing actual fur from a raccoon, and you come from a family of trappers. I can no longer bring myself to watch your tutorials. I'm not by far an animal rights protester. I personally find this particular tutorial distasteful . No animal should be hunted for fur. I can only imagine how terrified the raccoon must have felt being hunted. Living in a society where we needn't trap animals. They are intelligent creatures, even if they do knock over your rubbish bins looking for food. I appreciate the demonstration of such an artistic sewing machine, but couldn't you use faux fur. If not, then that particular machine should be left in the past, where women thought it was OK to parade with animal fur on their back. Losing just 1 subscriber won't affect your channel, and I'm sure some of your followers will dislike my comment. Unlike the raccoon, we humans have freedom of speech
Yeah I eat meat etc. It’s the fashion element I detest (unless you are a native of Alaska, Siberia or a similar climate). Then there are animals dying in agony because some stupid trapper doesn’t check traps in a timely manner, not to mention pets (dogs) who get caught in them because they are too close to a trail.
@@koalasez1200well if animals are killed for food but not used for other resources like cows for leather isn’t that worse bc then you’re wasting parts of the animal. Can’t have it both ways
