How do you do what you did at 0:28 thats what i clicked on the video for

The Lucky Needle is 10 out of 10 Upholstery School and these projects prove it! straight fiyah' gentlemen 🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

Thank you, professional video, no bullshit talk, just straight to the corner.

Very very good video, you show the struggles as they appear, and you correct them while you do it, and explain the whys and the hows very simple. Thanks, super helpful video, A1++ !!!!!

Thank you. Info and example given easily understood.

You video showed up in my feed and I am so happy it did. I bought a Juki 1541S knock off three years ago and used it once. I bought all these needles and threads but didn’t understand what the numbers and stuff meant. Thank you for this information, I think I’ll be able to use my machine now.

Hey John, appreciate this video! Thought I'd let you know that the free shipping that you mention in the video for the Juki does not apply to freight shipping of industrial sewing machines at the link you supplied. When I tried to get a 1541s at checkout to Colorado, it was $499 USD shipping. Thank you for the video, though! Very helpful!

Thx

when you cut the corner do cut both pieces of fabric thanks

Dang I'm locked out of my trunk thought this might work

Very informative we'll presented

Please do the reliefe cut before the foot. so you dont need to lift it and you will know where to stop needle to make your turn. got ears? trim your corners down a lil.

Wonderful.

Hey John. Question. Fabric puckering with my industrial machine. The Fabricator to be exact. Tension issue? Incidentally, I bought The Fabricator after your recommendation. Thanks.

I have been wrestling with large lengths of fabric as well, but fortunately it is not rigid like that PVC coated fabric you have there. I have sewn that material. It is used for the curtain sides on semi trailers and for heavy duty tarps. It is extremely durable but a real bear to handle in large lengths. I have some outside 24x7 and I'm sure it will last 10+ years. Those white plastic tables that fold up, work for for things like this. They come in 3-8 ft lengths. If you had one behind and to the left of you, that would be easier. The plastic is slippery so most fabric will easily slide on it. I used several tables to modify some 40+ ft sails outside in the summertime. It sure would be nice to have a sail loft for large projects. Another tip, if you find your material sticking to your machine table, tape some clear plastic polyethylene to your table with masking tape. Its very slippery. I just finished a 18 x 12 foot cover for a dump truck and I'm working on a trailer cover that is 14 x 10ft. But I'm using 8 oz Polyester fabric that is a heck of a lot easier to handle than that side curtain material you have in this video. My next project is to make a travel trailer cover. The trailer is 40ft long and 8 ft wide. The main panel will be about 48 ft x 15 ft, about 50 yards of material, 5 ft wide. Big! So I came here looking for tips on how to better handle all of the material in a limited space. It sure would be nice to have access to a gymnasium for a few days. But it it was easy, everyone would do it! 😄 Update: I finished the 45 ft long by 15 foot wide cover. There were three panels the full length. I sewed the seams as semi flat felled, adding one panel at a time. I did it in a space of about 10 ft by 12 ft I had two of those white plastic table off the the left side of my machine. I pushed the panels through the machine and just let them pile up on the floor behind the machine. Then pulled it back over the machine next to me to repeat for the topstitching. To do the hems I basically piled up the cover on the two large plastic tables and rotated the pile on the plastic tables as I hemmed the edge. There were two passes through the machine for the hemming. I also added tie down loops to the hemmed edge every three feet. It worked well and was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

Very good simply explained. Thank you!

I've tried this now with two different containers of contact adhesive and it fail both times. It never mixed in. The glue just balled up when I stired it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Love!!! So needed this!

Sir, I have an artisan 1797 AB what stitch indicator knob turns but it does not regulate any of my stitches. I cannot go from eight stitches and inch to 4 inches an inch. It just stays it 4 inches an inch. Is there any solution to my problem?

Sir I have a artisan 171AB my problem is my stitch regulator knob. Turns like it’s supposed to, but it does not regulate my stitches. Do you know what the problem would be in the Fix? Thank you.

7:05 what is the name of this white element?

John, what if you used a fan to blow the fumes away from you while you're cutting?

Your job is fantastic. A great video, thanks a lot for taking your time God bless you Dear Teacher

Great video …would a tex70 thread be strong enough to sew vinyl.? Looking for redo hometheater seats. This. Is my first time ..using an old home sewing machine … thanks

We just assembled our new Fabricator. It took us a large portion of our afternoon to get the small key to fit into the motor shaft to install the pulley. We spent An hour and a Half to file down the little key because we don’t have a grinder or Dremel tool to shave it thinner. I think the manufacturer should ship with pulley installed the motor.

You are the guy who convinced me to buy the Fabricator. Absolutely love it 5 years later. Was a bit of a job putting the whole thing together.

Very strange terminology compared to Britain !

where did you buy a new bracket @26:38 ??

Hey John, I just want to say I love your courses. I'm nearly done with the apprentice course and will soon be ready to take your next steps/course. Looking forward to it. Just about to sign up for the forum.

What’s the thickness of the Melamine?

I tried this week and it worked 👍

How do you top stitch 90 degree corner??

What a great simple trick 👌 thanks!

why do you keep calling the glue nasty? isn't it supposed to be sticky/ was it contaminated or something?

😂That is a basic door card. Like to see you making a volvo s70 / v70 door card

Shop update?

Great tip! just made use of it installing some vinyl in my boat! Thanks!

mmm... the smell of burning plastic

They want $499 for shipping in Nov of 2024. Insane.

Where can I get the table?

quick question, what is that contractors business name who took you for $15k ?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for

say you could only have one...mostly for smaller work...the 125 or the 150?

Hey John! Way cool seeing you again. It’s been a while since I popped In.

Any recommendations on how to repair a pulled stitch on a dashboard?

Excellent thank you! I need to make a leather slip cover for an ottoman.

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️👍🙌

You are correct, the safety data sheet says contact cement contains 70 to 80 % acetone and 10 to 20% of n-Butyl acetate. Thats one of the reasons why I dont go near it unless I am wearing gloves, a proper respirator and am in a well ventilated area. Acetone is instantly absorbed into the blood through the skin and will trigger a migraine headache from skin contact or inhaling the fumes.

I know I'm late to this but I started ordering from them about 4 years ago. Even though I live in the Phoenix metropolitan area I've been unable to find a good local supplier. I've been completely satisfied with albrights

How much pair presser put only?
