Hi Greg,
It seems you are the sewing machine genius around here! so maybe you can help.
We have a Juki 1571 (my husbands machine). We build a product called a Rockgard(rockgard.com).- just sew the body part. It has webbing straps across the bottom and here is the problem. This machine doesn't like sewing webbing! It strips thread like crazy and my hubby is getting seriously p.o'd. I have had it into two different repair shops now. We have tried bigger needles, smaller needles, Nylon thread, polyester thread (that's the one I need to be using for outside). It seems it's all about the reverse. He can sew straight lines 'till the cows come home, but as soon as it's time to put the webbing on the machine has a hissy fit!
I run a Sunstar KM591BL and it sews the webbing without a hitch. I've considered buying another Sunstar, but they are not made in Korea any more (China now) so I don't know if the quality is the same. Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question for all of you amazing upholsterers who work with leather. I have done lots of boat seats, cars seats, furniture with vinyl, but very little with leather. Now I have an opportunity to do aircraft seating which is all leather all of the time. They are private planes and small passenger jets. Am I getting in over my head having only a small amount of leather experience under my belt? Or will my general knowledge of boat and car seats be enough?
I plan on doing the Coachtrim course if I get the job.
Thanks in advance,
Lynn

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem that I hope someone can help with.
A client supplied a full set of replacement covers for his Correctcraft speedboat. He got the covers on a warranty claim twelve years ago (yes I did say twelve years!) and they have been sitting in a tote ever since.  Problem is the light grey vinyl was marked out using a regular lead pencil and now everywhere that it has touched over the years has left dirty marks. I have some really good vinyl cleaners and they aren't working. I tried varsol but that only works on oil, grease or glue marks. Of course the biggest piece in the boat - the doghouse- is the worse!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Lynn
