Why would someone do this:<

I don't know, but if he actually did it, and the machine still works, that's pretty impressive.

That's quite a machine. I have seen things like the trim on the edges of suitcases sewn but that's not quite the same as 3/8" plywood. More like 1/8-1/4" cardboard.

Stupid to risk ruining a cool machine. Too much testosterone on the brain I guess.

I hope this machine gets rescued by someone who will actually appreciate it. Looks like a really nice machine and doesn't deserve that.

Depends on what it is made to sew. Some machines can punch through really thick material with no problem at all. A piece of plywood wouldn't be much different than the same thickness of leather.
oh yes it is...... not even necessarily harder, just VERY different. this machine does NOT have the slack and or flex built into it to sew something this rigid. this "test" damaged the machine regardless of the "success" of the results... shame... truly. |
