JerryBaumchen 1,462 #1 January 20, 2012 Hi Folks, There is word going around that that an oft-times poster on here has had some mental problems. He has gone berserk & purchased a Class 7 harness machine. It's the first step down that wrong road. I'm not naming names; but beware, he is out there. To theonlyski: What are your thoughts since you've done something similar? JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #3 January 20, 2012 Quote To theonlyski: What are your thoughts since you've done something similar? I just had someone ask me where I got mine. Problem is, I don't have a Class 7! Now, if someone was willing to donate one to me, I'd appreciate it. ETA: Jerry, how's that 13 person technical committee you're heading up coming along?

JohnRich 4 #4 January 20, 2012 QuoteHe has gone berserk & purchased a Class 7 harness machine. That's how it begins. Just like marijuana is a gateway drug into using more hard core drugs. Punching your recalcitrant sewing machine is the gateway into more serious offenses. Next thing you know he'll be kicking his gear bag, over-torquing closing loops with a mechanical advantage device, standing on his packed deployment bag to forcibly push the air out before securing it in his rig, and rolling his helmet across the floor like a bowling ball. Yeap, it's just the beginning of a long train of abusive parachuting practices. Woe be to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #5 January 20, 2012 Jerry, Aside from owing you a phone call or two, and more, aren't you the one that told me no way in hell did you need a class 7? Going for more power here but not in a hot knife huh?Hopefully you've already moved it and sense you posting have survived. I just about didn't survive putting my on the table by myself when I moved it. I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,462 #7 January 20, 2012 Hi ski, Quote Jerry, how's that 13 person technical committee you're heading up coming along? Some people just do not listen: How many times do I have to tell you, 'YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THAT COMMITTEE.' You really should take your medications on the proper schedule.

JerryBaumchen 1,462 #8 January 20, 2012 Hi Terry, Quote aren't you the one that told me no way in hell did you need a class 7? Yup, and when this poor soul asked me my thoughts on a Class 7, I told him that I have owned three of them & sold them all. Actually, it appears that he is getting one for a very good price; but you did not hear it from me. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,462 #9 January 20, 2012 Hi ski ( again ) , Quote Ya decide to get rid of that 132k5? It is a Singer 132K6. And I'll only get rid of it when I croak or it croaks, whichever comes first. Actually, the way it sews these days it looks like it will outlast me. JerryBaumchen PS) I bought my first Class 7 machine sitting in a barn south of Portland for $200. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't find one of those anywhere! I think I'd rather get one of those than a 7 class.

PhreeZone 20 #12 January 20, 2012 I recently picked up a 20u33 so that when I bring my 132k home from the Master rigger it is staying with right now it won't feel lonley. The Singer 591 clone I've had for a few years was the gateway machine, it was just not enough and now I need more...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,462 #14 January 20, 2012 Hi ski, QuoteCan't find one of those anywhere! A number of things that I really like the 132K6 over a Class 7 are: - It a lighter machine in that I can pick it up and carry it around; for a while - It does not take up so much space in a production room - And the best of all, it has two pedals, one to get'r going & one to lift the presser foot. This allows me to have both hands on the materials when sewing & turning the materials; I really like this pedal-lift the presser foot feature. Just some random thoughts . . .

Never again will I buy a sewing machine that doesn't have a knee/foot lift able presser foot. That is my BIGGEST problem with the sailrite I have.
