Finished my first 2 panel with the new machine. Few issues with sewing, but the main structure is solid. Need to get it in a tree to test comfort.

I can say without a doubt the loop adjustments make a huge difference. One position works great for leaning, another for sitting. I can feel a lot of fat bulging in the mesh area(touching with my hand on outside of saddle). Odd because I set stretch for left/right. I think a taller bottom panel would fit me better and wider so loops came further forward. Good first go at it, but this might end up being my son's first saddle.

The first one I built was misery to sit in LOL, after that I started putting 3 stitches in the joints and going out to a tree to hang out of it at ground level of course to see how it feels. If it's bad then only gotta pull a few stitches to move or change things up. FYI though if you do it that way you almost want it to feel a little big/loose cause as you sew it up everything will tighten up
 
Could you provide info on the continuous loop amsteel? (Lengths, size, etc) thanks
