I'm so proud of my 403!!

The neighbor has a guest that has a husky mix pup that's nine months old. They were working out in the shop on Ash's car, had the doors open and the pup was on a leash secured to the door of the car. The doors were open and the pup got into the car and chewed BOTH seatbelts in two! The boys (they're men, really, 24 years old) brought me the belts and asked if I could fix them well enough to work until Ash could get them replaced. You know how thick seat belts are....I took them directly to the 403. Using the 3-stitch zigzag cam, I repeatedly stitched back and forth across them. Told the boys to take it and yank HARD on it before putting it back in the car.

Not only did the 403 stitch through that belting like a hot knife through butter, but the stitches held with no problem when the boys played a hard game of tug-o-war with them.

Try that with a modern machine!!
