Absolutely. In the softest alcantara

I'm not sure why you think we might be interested in your new shorts project
Looks like a nice machine...
I don't recognise the shape - what is it ?

Re: Sewing Club
Headlining finished plenty oversized. Should look good once it’s stretched out
Sunvisors tomorrow, need to fix the dry throat from the dust now though.

Re: Sewing Club
Got my wife ( also a quilter by trade ) to make me a replacement tool roll for the impact bumper. The outside is vinyl from the back of a 1972 Mercedes seat, rest is new vinyl.

Re: Sewing Club
Thanks
With some of the remaining vinyl we repaired the two side parts of the felt trunk carpet. The pop studs pulled out and the felt would not hold them. Drilled out and added a nice vinyl binding and new studs.

Re: Sewing Club
I'm still working out what sewing machine to get. Mrs R who is a hobby quilter is very supportive of the idea of a heavier duty machine. Just not worked out what yet!

Re: Sewing Club
Morning All, resurrecting an old thread (hehe).
Mrs R is keen to sew my new Caterham mats, perhaps she's just keen to get a new sewing machine! It's carpet (rubberish backed stuff from Car Builder Solutions) with a thin rubber heel pad (from the old mats) and a binding for the edge. The thickest is carpet, rubber and binding (4 layers as it's folded on both sides if that makes sense).
And to the question to those with experience of the 201k, will it be man enough for that?
Cheers
Graham

Re: Sewing Club
Hey Graham.
From my experience of using a 201K (I learnt to sew using one with my mum when I was young) I'd think that it would struggle with your project.
One issue is how high the needle lifts between stitches.

Re: Sewing Club
I have the 201 but I can't advise as I haven't had a chance to get started on my seats yet. I ended up taking in a house project, so tied up with that a lot more than I'd like right now.
I heard they were used by Bentley for their upholstery. Don't know how true that is but if true, should mean it's fine for leather.
