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.
Best regards,
