  4. The Quality of the thread is huge here.. A high quality bonded thread is paramount. The gumminess of the adhesives will make lesser threads start skipping stitches very quickly. The fuzzier the thread the faster you will encounter issues. I clean needle, sewing foot and platform every bobbin. I disassemble and clean the whole assembly every other kite. (Some residue seems to gather ion the bottom of the platform sometimes.)
  5. Thank you. I would suggest aligning the reinforced threads along the lower corner as stated. The leading edge itself will control the stretch along that direction. FWIW, with extremely low wind designs, stretch should be by definition less of an issue.
  6. FWIW, I've done over 90 kites on a $100 Brother machine. I don't use a walking foot but the 3 step zizag is vital.
  7. If you look at a Rev, Freilein, Djinn or Shook The direction of fabric is pretty consistent. This kite has the stress directions pretty well aligned with the strips.
  8. Very Cool. Those colors do pop in the crowd for sure
  9. That would indeed be the place.
  10. the YMCA Ejay mentioned. and of course OBX..
  11. I tend to go past Va Beach and Norfolk.. I fly south of you more often than those areas by a very wide margin... the Area @Ejay mentioned is a great place to fly when wind direction cooperates..
  12. TBH, I haven't chatted with nearly anyone lately.. It's been a crazy few months.
  13. Me too.
  14. I personally go to The Langley Speedway parking area, on base or Riverview Farm Park when flying local. I sometimes meet other Fliers down near Currituck and fly there. My favorites places to fly are Corolla, Jockeys Ridge or the Wright Memorial though.
  15. I have a couple of places but many times I 'll go down your way to fly with a few fliers closer to your area..
  16. There are a few of us in the area..

    Sudoku

    As some of you know, I've started making Sudoku puzzles recently.. Well one of the things I've been playing with is variant rule sets and recently I had an idea and approached another puzzle maker (called tallcat) and created a whole new kind of Sudoku. Presenting Lockout Lines.. A puzzle featuring our creation was recently showcased on the most popular Sudoku channel in the world called Cracking the Cryptic If you'd like to try one of my puzzles with the variant, you can find one of my personal favorites here. https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0007HQ You'll notice the Diamonds are the feature for this creation. (I seem to just like diamonds don't I?) **Note** The reason they didn't appear in the video is because their streaming software hasn't been updated yet to accept the new graphics.
  19. We may have vastly different definitions of "essentials"
  20. And then you reach the point no one is making the toys you want so you make your own.
  21. We still have a Classifieds section for just such inquiries Images are not required..And there's no charge..
