New project maker!

I am the new proud owner of a Sailrite sewing machine! Also known as ‘the never ending list of projects just got longer’.

Recently I was working on a regular home seeing machine and remembered how much I enjoyed sewing. Naturally I mention it to Kolby, and tell him we can buy a good used one off of Craigslist for about $80-$100.

Never one to go halfway, he jumps into a Sailrite pitch and next thing I know I have committed to sewing canvas and learning sail repair.

If you are not familiar with Sailrite machines you can check out their website, but essentially they are industrial machines for sewing heavy materials like canvas and sails. We decided to buy the LSZ because it can do the zig zag stitching needed for sail repair.

I’m sure the learning curve will be steep… My first project is a much needed canvas cover for our dinghy.
