Well it seems i'm actually getting various little projects done. Haven't worked on the balloon yet however small steps are being made towards actually cutting some more fabric then finally progressing onto sewing. I thought id try a different style of breaking down whats going on.Sewing Machine: My Thread order arrived which is awesome and i finally don't have any excuses to not sit down at the machine. The 1152 is finally finished and has already been put into action which ill cover a little later. The table tops of each machine have been swapped over. So i basically the 1152 was the easy one to finish. Seeing as the frame that came with the 1152 was sad in places it meant i had to full strip the frame and repaint it.
The now 515 unit is not 100%. The sewing machine is not right and hopefully with pre-wound bobbins it will improve the performance of the machine and eliminate another potential problem. Along with machine head issues i still have to attach the frame to the tabletop which wont be a problem once i find the time to do it.
Tank straps: I finally got off the start mark on one of my other projects. I have made the prototype tank strap which i am fairly happy with considering its my first time at the Juki-1152. I have had a few issues with the thickness of the tape however after a few shots some of the issues have been ironed out. The plan for these straps is to make 20 of them and sell them to various people. If i manage to sell all of them i will make some more however i don't sell any i wont be to phased.
