Nice work, you've even made a neat zip-puller park.

Looking brilliant! Was the old gal missing stitches? My flying shuttle does that when she's reaching her depth

Waxing the cotton adds weight and makes washing a PIA, I bet its better avoided for your ubercold useage

Only in a couple of place Sal but I think a normal electic would of had problems .

That's really good Cliff, you're getting to be a right dab hand at them

I'd happily buy a pattern off of you if you ever thought about selling them for the larger sized man
