Not bad. The proper way to do the ends of the stich is to reverse stich the first and last 10mm. Also, I believe bonded nylon is a more appropriate thread, but polyester will certainly work. I would definitely do the reverse ends with polyester though. A couple layers of masking tape to create an edge for the template to ride against does great to keep it straight. This is absolutely an easy process and anybody that flys much should learn to do it. Line is not expensive and its nice to be able to make or repair lines on your own so you dont have to wait, at a much lower cost. You can stich them by hand even, but it really sucks. A capable sewing machine is cheap. No special machine or stiches required.

Love this Yankee. I’ve used this method on lines that I wasn’t hanging in the sky from. I like the template. Good job. Good information.

Very neat to see a follow up to the line replacement you did at Bad Apples. I enjoyed helping.

Yankee most love you the best.

Great video. Good idea using the template to keep things lined up.

Nice job !! That would sure hold as good as new !!

Oh you do flying videos too! lol. I will probably never sew lines together but at least I know how. I do appreciate the lessons Thanks.

Ia'm getting me a sewing machine!

Good stuff! keep sharing that knowledge!

Will try this with walking foot.

Neat video! Thank you for a thoughtful lesson.

You had me until you threw some Metric in and I got lost. I backed it up a few times and was able to follow. ~8^) Good stuff brother!

Awesome. Just now saw this video. Have you ever seen Andrew Fullers machine? Does this in seconds and seems to be automated with either CNC or perhaps mechanical programming. Amazing, but expensive machine.

What needle number was used for sewing?

hi mate, Can you tell me the size of the sewing thread

Side business at fly-ins? 😀

not a fan of eye spices.... they cause too much watering and potential blindness if the wrong spice is used.
