This is a thread about sewing machines. And thread. And threading sewing machines.
I am picking up a new (to me) machine tonight. Please say a silent prayer that I may not sew my fingers together.
It's a Brother DB2 B735-3 industrial straight lock-stitch machine. High speed, self lubricating. Capable of 5,500 stitches per minute. That's 91 stitches a second.
Tried it out last night. At full speed the needle literally hums a tune through the fabric. It moves so fast it makes a 90hz tone.
It'll punch right through most any garment fabric made. Not really good for heavy leather, but it'll eat up anything else.
w00t!
Looks like this one, but it's in nicer shape:
I can rock the home machine. I've made a bunch of cool things. Now I will be unstoppable.
First project: drum stick bag.
