Hey guys I’ve been looking into upgrading my glue sprayer. I just use the cheap HF purple hlvp type of gun now. Problem with these the glue dries up in the cup very quickly and gets gunk up on the tip nozzle making impossible to spray. I’ve used the bottom feed general purpose stray gun before, work...

Well its up to you. If you plan on sewing for the foreseeable future I would suggest getting prewound bobbins in white, black and beaver. They save you such a huge amount of time its well worth it. I'm lazy and get prewound any time they are available :grin: 22 needle will put a bigger hole in. I u...

Great insight @Trimmerman79 . Thanks! Your right and at $660 a year thats a no brainer. When I had my shop in Arizona insurance was almost $1000 a month. Do you mind sharing who you used and what plan you have.? Wow :scream: $1,000 a month! I use Erie insurance, it’s call Garage Auto liability / ga...

That's good to know! I wasn't aware of those options either. Yeah works just like a subscription you would pay each month. The same card would keep getting charged the amount you set. That only on Square. PayPal business allows them to make payments to the invoice balance til paid in full. You just...

@Trimmerman79 Stick with 92 prewound in the bobbin. This always works for me in my Juki 562 with any size needle and top thread. Cant say for sure on the 1542s though... Amman is supposed to be the best around these days. Im gonna switch to that once I run out of all the coats I have stocked up on....

So on the square, you would need to get them to fill out a form to keep the card on file also.

@Trimmerman79 Good to know about payment scheduler, I use both those apps and didn’t realize the option was there. Yeah, I have used it on the square before for recurring payments.

For me since I do other things other then upholstery on project builds, I require all parts and materials paid in full. Labor is 50% deposit and remaining paid at pickup. I know with some larger builds you could break it up the balance payment if you want. I know square and paypay business allows pa...

@Trimmerman79 , I am always intrested in the product choice. It almost looks like Amann thread you are using. I have recently been told by a sewing machine store to use TX138 Nylon for everything. Yes I use the Amann Serafil thread only right now. I use 90 , 135 and 210. They are polyester based. I...

I use a 22 with 210. It’s in the smaller size for it. I think close to a 25 is recommended. I thought it looked like to larger of hole. I mostly use a 92 in the bobbin and have gotten away with a 69 if need be. Thanks, I just tried 22 needle and worked great with the 210 thread. The 20 needle gave ...

I was going to stick with 92 and 210 contrast top stitching. I had a 20 needle, but thinking of going to 22 .

Just curious what size thread others use on contrast stitching? Also on larger size threads like tex210 size, what size thread do you use in the bobbin? For the larger thread what is the smallest needle do you use? I feel like I have to keep adjusting the hook on my juki 1541S going up and down in s...
