Mr3D 0 #1 Posted December 3, 2024 I bought a PFAFF 3334 (42 stitch) mechanical bartacker for cheap a few months ago, I did a full-service on it and also made a custom stand/table for it. Machine is now in really good working order, but I would like to change the stitch-pattern. (I work as a CNC-machinist so for me to make a custom cam-wheel is no problem) I've read on the forums a lot, and it seems like the most common stitch on skydiving gear (especially canopy work) is the 42 stitch center start/stop. Does anyone have a pattern on how it looks? This is the current stitch-pattern on my tacker. And the machine as it stands now, after my rebuild. And a few quick notes: No, I am not a rigger. But I want to become one, in the meantime I want to use the correct machines an techniques to learn as much as possible in preparation for that.

RayLosli 11 #2 December 7, 2024 Nice looking job with the setup you did . Changing of stitch patterns. Only suggestion I got is maybe try contacting, Camatron Industrial Sewing in New Jersey, USA . for seeking some advice on changing patterns. https://camatron.com/about-us/ - .

Veis 29 #3 December 10, 2024 For some applications, your pattern is preferable. Frame stitches under a zigzag in a classic pattern are needed so that the sewing seam is more prominent and does not tighten, as it is preferred in clothing. For lines, it is preferable that it be tightened as much as possible. In the pattern from the center, for lines, the minimum number of frame stitches is preferable.
