Good news, Kelly! You clearly aren’t the arch nemesis of he who will not be named! That pesky scar was hardly visible! Congrats! You can breathe easier now knowing you won’t have to duel Voldemort!

That was some piece of work Kelly! I know I've got the same machine, but my sail was so thick at the head I had to use the Speedy Sticher by hand on the last couple of feet, I used a piece of card from my cornflakes to put through the machine without thread then marked all the holes on the sail then used a 1mm drill before stiching it. It is a great little machine, but i now also have a proper industrial machine now too.

Nice! I LOVE this machine, it’s a beast! So helpful and the tutorials are great. I also really appreciate the friendly midwestern customer service with Sailrite. We also have a speedy stitch- works great for smaller (hard to reach) projects. Chris just used it to fix one of the straps on my sail cover actually. It sure beats having to take the whole thing down and get set up on a table

@@ChrisandKellNowHere Hi Kelly, yes to all that, if your looking for extra strength with the Speedy Sticher use whipping twine instead of thread, works a treat!

Good job !! I wanted one of those sawing machines......but expensive 😫

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

So expensive! But worth every penny

I hate roller furling.
