Love your videos!! I’ve been doing upholstery for a year now, and just got my first industrial walking foot sewing machine that’s a lock stitch. Do you tie of your ends when your done sewing your lines? Because I notice you don’t use a back stitch. Or can I rely on my lock stitch for that? Because I’ve been tying off all my ends when I’m done sewing a line
We do back stitch on some jobs. Like daily drivers however on nicer stuff we usually hand tie for look and guaranteed lock. Thanks for watching Make sure to subscribe, next week we will be bring back our weekly giveaway.
It depends on what you're doing. Anything decorative should be tied off. Don't count on permiter sewing to lock the stitch. Don't back tack on anything you can see. Even if your machine is precise enough to hit the same hole forwards and reverse it won't look good. When doing inserts try and minimize the number of starts and stops so you have fewer knots to make. It saves time too because unless you've got an autocut machine you have to hold those tails and the setup takes a few seconds which add up. Less chance of a tail getting picked up by the machine.
