[Moo] Re: [Watchtower] Baronial at Home - Sept 22

[Peter Darby]

Thank you for all the kind offers.  The sewing machine is a 29X4 singer, in outstanding condition) which will sew up to and beyond 1/2 inch leather.  When I first got it we (Stupidly) played with the tension to get it to sew denim and now I can't get readjusted for leather.  I am looking forward to this at-home and finally being able to work on some sewing projects.

  Ahh, but I've already got a machine that sews leather. Mostly it's a matter of the needle. But there are some tricks to balancing tension. Some require special thread managing gadgets...

  Taking treadle machine in to have a tech work on it is a bit of a pita. I'd do the at home fidgets for a long time before I hauled it in to the shop. Of course, lifting a sewing machine is not a problem for Baron Buff.

      When I read you response, I laughed out loud and then had to explain my mirth to my husband:   I had the same internal response that you typed out!

      It's kind of like the costumer's version of King Arthur and the Sword and the Stone--

      "who so ever fixith the tension, shall be rightful worker of the machine"

          We are looking forward to the first at-home since Pennsic.  Lots of stories and new friendships to discuss. 

           If there are any expert sewing machine manipulators out there I am issuing a special invitation to try your skill at getting the tension right on my treadle type singer leather sewing machine.  I have the book for it but don't know enough to get the tension right.
