Today I made another lined bag with an outside and inside pockets and a closure (all feedback suggestions) using my Featherweight machine. It has a stronger engine but still it is tough getting over the really bulky seams and sews slower than I can feed it.
This bag turned out alright but took about 4.5 hours - not feasible to sell and recoup labor.
I wonder if anyone I know has an industrial machine I could borrow to try out?
I also ordered some sample closures to try out, magnetic and clasps. Moving forward!
