Got the new thread injector from Amazon yesterday. Shi!t's about to get real.

Oh boy! Life is about to get exciting and frustrating. It's cool to make stuff, but sometimes, the tensions can get frustrating.

Y'all have me wanting a thread injector. My wife even agreed that it would be a good investment with upholstery shops charging $68 an hour.

I bought one of the old singers after reading about some of the machines guys picked up on here. Struggled with it a little at first then picked up a new motor for short money with a slightly higher wattage. Made a huge difference.
 
Gave it a test run today. It worked very well.
Nice. Please let us know how it does with the heavier threads. I had a new brother brand machine before the singer that would go through several layers of webbing with lighter thread but when I tried upholstery thread it bound up tight.
 
Yeah it doesn't like the upholstery thread. I had to manually push the needle in for the first stitch.
 
After the first stitch, the momentum kept it going ok. This was 2 really thick layers of webbing.
 
Just made a sling pack for my Cranford rope steps with my singer 4423, fleece outside and duck canvas inside. Can't wait to make my backpack!
