Work stuff

[bladespark]

So the sewing machine is currently in for repairs at the spiffy local sewing/vacuume place. But they tell me that it was really never meant to take the kind of abuse I give it, and what I need is a proper industrial machine. So I'm scouting ebay right now for one second hand, as new industrial sewing machines run $1k or so.

I'm still behind on projects, sadly, but I'm not falling further, and I hope to be caught up again well before Anthrocon, so anybody who's getting somethhing for the con, or who has any other hard deadline on your stuff, no worries.

What about a serger? Did they say that it might be at least a little better even if it isnt industrial grade?

They didn't say, but I suspect no. A serger gives a stronger stitch, but isn't in and of itself a stronger machine, and it's not going to do velcro at all, which is the one thing I can't sew by hand, and the only reason I'm even worried about this at all, otherwise I'd just do without a machine and hand sew everything.
