    Sewing Pron! For The Win

    So here's my set up at home.
    It's a Juki 5550 I got used.

    If you look at the bottom you can see the knee pad that lifts the presser foot. I love this thing. I had to switch out the 1/2 HP clutch motor for a servo motor.
    Next to it is my mom's Kenmore Mini-Ultra that she has never used but defaulted to me.

    I make tactical gear as well as my kilts and related regalia as a hobby. My next project is a modified Xkilt (full apron) and matching Nightstalker-like sporran out of denim.

    Think I can handle that?

    Wow, that's quite the set-up! It looks like if you can't keep up with it, it just might take over and do the sewing for you.

    Regards,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    ^^^One of many!

    (ask Dana!)

    Thanks folks. Hopefully I can do a good enough job that I can give out some of my projects. I have made some custom duty gear for cops.

    So Kevin,
    what does it mean for those of us who have broking down and now own more than one industrial Machine.
    I have 4 Pfaff 138-6 machines. Made between 1964 and 1978 but all identical and interchangable.

    Oh Doomed am I.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
