riffclown Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Posted January 4, 2020 Todays Progress was the center panels all done. Attaching the LE's tomorrow 2 1 Quote
riffclown Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 I made a mistake, I bought some cheaper double-sided tape which really gummed up my system and made the machine start missing stitches very badly. LE attachment has bee delayed while I get proper seam tape.. Meanwhile the Purple kite has been finished out so I can test it today.. Quote
DTill Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I've been using the tape from Fly market with no problems. I was going to order some through Into the Wind because it's cheaper. Don't want to trash any vendors on here, but where did you get the problematic tape? Quote
riffclown Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 There's no vendors to trash.. This was my fault and the product wasn't from any of the normal kite suppliers. I was looking at alternatives and this tape looked the same but less than $1 a roll.. The mistake was mine. I got exactly what I paid for. The product was not marked as a sewing product and it wasn't one. Quote
