Krap....lots testosterone points just > for knowing what the frag a serger is I bet! :-) Since your mom owns it and probably told you what it was, you get a pass on this one. A world-class ski adventurer bought an industrial sewing machine to make kites that can pull riders over various sorts of terrain. You could probably use the serger for something like that. Drogue chutes for dragsters, maybe... -- Cheers, Bev /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ When cryptography is outlawed, only outlaws will qwertzuio asdfghjk pyxcvbnml -- M. O'Dorney

You could probably use the >serger for something like that. Drogue chutes for dragsters, maybe... My industrial machine is straight stitch only. All the Dacron sails on the hang gliders were sewn with a zig-zag stitch, thankfully I never could work on them. I believe they are done that way to minimize a stress/weak line along the seams and to allow the sail to stretch and move a bit as it is loaded during flight. DJ
From: PrairieRider on 5 Nov 2009 16:17 I'm working part-time for a fellow who makes shoes and specializes in historic military footwear (www.civilwarboots.com). I've been enjoying the use of a variety of industrial machines including a treadle machine with a sewing foot that changes directions rather than having to move the material. Made myself a pair of street riding boots and a pair of whole cut black wing tips for Jeff. Might make myself a pair of tall ropers next. Some of his machines are close to 100 years old.
From: HellSickle on 5 Nov 2009 17:05 C'mon ladies, have you realized that this thread has devolved into a discussions of sewing equipment & "chesticles"? Let's get back to ISF. I'll bring my generator so someone can run a serger (yes, I've done that before). Now, where did I put those knitting needles...... CJ, good to see you back in RMD. I agree about taking an entire week for ISF. Driving 24 hours to ride for three days is insano.

When I lived in Sun Valley in the early 80s, I came up with a term to describe the typical local woman who was athletic, head strong and rather aggressive: They weren't macho, they were twatcho... >Let's get back to ISF.

Bring your Spud Gun too, we can stand across that big meadow (in full riding gear) and shoot each other. IdaInstigator |
