I've seen that video before! I wonder what he charges. And what that machine cost! I also wonder if that repair is truly comfortable. Maybe it depends on the type of thread you use. It is really cool the way he can rotate the open arm. I wonder how that works. Couldn't one accomplish the same thing with a flat bed or free arm (like your 222 <gasp!>) and free motion? He made a big deal about the seat of the pants being curved, but they're not *that* curved there. In the beginning he's sewing on air quite a bit, so that wouldn't be good for the machine. Maybe a soluble stabilizer would be good. Or don't clip the frayed threads and just sew over them. But I think you're not intending to use this for mending jeans!
