Question for the sailmakers - which machine?

Depends on how big and heavy the sail is you intend on making? If you will have problems with this size machine. Seaming shouldn't be to much of a problem. When you start webbing rings on the corners you might start seeing the sparks fly.

 

Your average sail built professionally will likely go through 3 different machines.

 

what's wrong today? Site is timing me out every 3 minutes! anyway...

What's a special technique for doing larger sails on a machine like this? I imagine that you need to tape all your seams first and therefore construct the sail to check the hang etc, and then you'd need to squeeze minimum half your sail through under the arm to stitch the taped seams, no?

As Booboo said, Adler 98 all the way can handle pretty much anything you could throw at it, plenty of parts around and will go all day everyday if need be. Come up now and again on Trademe but dont usally last long though.

 

Cheers, SS
