Great tip. I just got a new scooter and getting it up and down the stairs is trickier than I expected when I fold it and carry. I think this will be much easier.

Honestly… take some steroids for a couple months and build up a man’s physique. Then about 10 minutes before you lift, do some stretching and some methamphetamines then just pick it up and carry it bruv

Not sure I understand. Normally the top stitch is what provides the pleasing esthetic quality, but you are putting it on the bobbin. Sorry, but I just don't understand why anyone would do that. Please enlighten me. Thanks. ( I do love the pace and detail of your vids).

Great video. Very informative. Do you know if anyone makes a flat shank 140/22 needle that has a triangular point or other cutting point. The round needles will just not penetrate the leather well. I modify industrial needles but would rather buy already made up needles. Thanks.
@chairmankim96286 ай бұрын
I looked fo 140/22 needles with a flat shank but could not find any. I found them in industrial needles. The shank is round and the needles are longer. Also the point is a triangular point. I used a dremel too to grind the shank and make it flat 1.66 mm and also shortened it. It works perfectly. These are titanium and i was able to sew 1/2 inch leather. Works much better than round point.

Depending on the scooter/stairs you can also hold the brakes and just slowly let the scooter go down if you can hold it upright.

Very informative, thanks. I am thinking of getting one of these machines. I want to use it as a cheap "sew off the arm" solution, mainly for light fabrics. Would it be suitable for this purpose?
@FlexitoolGuides7 ай бұрын
I would get an electric modern sewing machine for that. These work better for finicky heavier materials where you can stitch by stitch. Good luck with that venture though!
@nicokyriak8 ай бұрын
Dude, these machines are junk made by unskilled people and aimed at unskilled hobbyists. Go buy an old SINGER industrial walking foot or a Pfaff, ADLER, NECCHI etc.
@FlexitoolGuides7 ай бұрын
I agree some of them are junk - depends on the manufacturer (there are many). First one I had was garbage. But if you find a decent manufacturer they work just great. There is a reason the design hasn't changed in 150 years!

For those who are saying its too slow ironically youre wrong. Its actually faster if you have a high speed scooter that can go faster than you getting a lightweight scooter that will take longer to get there Only exception is when youre onlt commuting a few miles at most and you're taking multiple floors upstairs

Thanks so much for your video. I realize it has been years since you posted the tutorial for the lether stitching machine but hope that you are still available to answer questions about it. I have the machine but the presser foot doesn't come all the way down to the plate to hold the leather in place. Is there a way to adjust the presser foot?
@FlexitoolGuides7 ай бұрын
Yes, you can adjust that part - you can also do things like file the underside. Check my other videos, it's in there somewhere.

Unfortunately not. It will go one way only with the heavy thread. You will need to use a light through the other way. Check out my video on needle thread pairing for all that info.
