Hello All, do you guys know how or where to find specific color vinyl? I have a customer that is very particular on the color. even though the boat has been left outside for many years, and the vinyl is faded.  He want the factory color. Ive explained that it still wont match the rest of the cushions not being worked, but he wants what he wants... the boat is a 2003 Chris Craft 203 deck boat. The color is a cream/off white color.

Thanks in advance...

Hey all, can you give me a servo motor 101 understanding??? I read that they are way better than clutch motors.. but I dont know exactly why? what is the benefit, how is it that the are so much better? what are the return on investment pro's?

My conclusions from reading are better control essentially, but why invest in this in lue of other methods...Im am new to the industrial machines, I have a Juki 562 that I love. I did do some mods to id inorder to slow it down ( No way can I stitch at the speeds it could run... ( smaller drive pulley, 1 5/8th " and a 7" pulley on the machine.  extended the arm on the clutch engagement arm to the left side of the pedal (approx 10 inches)





Now the machine is very controllable, easy to feather the speed... single stitch at a time...

How would a servo motor improve my machine now?

Hello All, new member here.... want to give a bit of an introduction before I just started blasting questions!!!

first I wanted to say thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

My Name is Cordell, I have been dabbling in marine upholstery for about two years.  I started during the restoration of my 1968 Glastron GT160. Wanting to do everything my self, being cheep and the encouragement of Blue flamingo (member on here) I got a machine, started practicing, studying and watching videos.

Eventually people started asking ....hey,  can you do this or that. Eventually evolved into a side job of sorts. I have only done marine upholstery and a couple motorcycle seat. I have had no unsatisfied customers, but I realized that I have much to learn.... thats why Im here. Please forgive the newbie questions I will ask. I will try to research the forum before posting.





I started out with 1953 Morse 4300 fotomatic...



then I got this 1949 Singer 15-91



Recently I got this Juki 562
