Nice video and good technique. I don't know how you control that clutch motor so well. I need a servo + speed reducer on my Juki to get anything done. You're a better man. Cheers mate.
Hi! I’m so glad I found you! I want to learn upholstery!!! So I have a question. Not zipper related tho. I’m sewing a cover for my husbands truck bed, 2 2.5 yards 1/2 in seam for two main pieces then a stitch on each side of seam on right side of fabric. It will be secured to plywood. Naugahyde/vinyl not leather. I’m using a vintage heavy duty machine, as I don’t have my industrial any more. It DOES sew the fabric fine on testing, with heavy upholstery thread and needle. Question is…. Is a 110/18 needle or leather needle preferred? Also it’s not a walking foot machine, so any suggestions as to how can I get the material to slide when I stitch the top? Thanks so much. 😊
