My fabricator is starting to act up a little. It has a squeak in it and when I sew, the fabric moves fwd and backwards. Not much but the fabric isn't in a constant fwd movement. I bought mine from you guys, but I don't know much about working on it. Just the basics

When using premade facing, can I put the two pieces together and bind them and then put the clear vinyl in between and sew the whole assembly together? I realize the binding won't be sewn to the vinyl but with two rows of stitches it should still hold well.. Any downside to doing it this way?
Good question. It is always a good idea to hold the tail threads for your first few stitches. But, if you roll the balance wheel by hand for the first stitch the possible pulling in of tails is reduced. I would still hold the tails, but sometimes I forget.
Excellent video! Complicated at first viewing…but subsequent views seem to make everything perfectly clear! Many thanks!
Glad you liked it!
You are an amazing teacher 💪👏👏
Fantastic work and great effort.
Thank you! Cheers!

Do you know where I can find non standard screws for the sewing needle fixture?
If you start 1st stitch with hand wheel do you not have to hold thread tails.
