TB2HB Mosquito Netting with a sewing machine

[ninjaofthe9seas]

wow...does it work?

[bdelder42]

Yes it does. We started making the nets on the ground in Africa last January in a small village north of Thompson Falls, Kenya. We only have one sub-par sewing machine and limited supplies. Our goal is to send these farmers out to educate other village in Kenya, East Africa and eventually the world. We need funding for basic supplies and travel expenses. They have already traveled to other nearby villages on their own, but money is tight. Pass the word, break the chain. Brad

This great ! Thank you for doing this.

What sewing machines are you using?

[bdelder42]

It looks like just about any sewing machine will work, treadle or electric. The key option you want is the fully variable stitch option. This allows you to put the stitches/holes as close to each other as possible. The blue Kenmore in the video only has three stitch width options. But the Butterfly in the still shots is fully variable. The Butterfly was the most economical machine we could buy (not good). We are now trying to find money to buy a better machine for the group in Kenya. Brad
