    I've never seen a sewing machine like that with the pressure foot doing a little tippy-toe dance, very cool. I love the bag too. You remind me of my dad when he made dresses for my mom, very exacting but not obsessive about it, good memories.

    Hi Alex. Thanks for sharing your video. I just had to take a look when you mentioned you were going to quilt the bags. What a brilliant idea. I live in the UK and a few months ago a very kind lady gave me a stash of upholstery fabric, leftover lengths. I have a regular sewing machine and a Juki industrial machine. I do like the fact that your bobbin sits on the side of your machine. I'm looking forward to sewing up some good, strong bags. Some to keep and probably some to gift to friends. Definitely better than using/or keep buying plastic carrier bags. Thanks again

    I’ve been a quilter for almost 40 years and have never really thought much about machines. I bought a 20+ year old Bernina almost 20 years ago and it is a fantastic machine. Your machine set my heart a fluttering. Now onto your bag,I love it. I love the size, the handles and like you said, it stand up and open. Nice!

    I'm getting up to that age where floppy bags are a real struggle. I like the idea of quilting and some binding but pretty sure I'd black out from the pain. That aside I really loved every bit of this. Very nicely done not only on the bag but on the video production. So much to enjoy and as a novice on an industrial machine, appreciate the tip for lining up a long stitch. I tend to fixate on the foot and videos like yours and Chechaflo remind me to relax, go slow. Fantastic sound by the way. There's a lot of work in getting that mic'd right and mixed so well. A lot of passion went into this video and I sure appreciate it.

      Love this idea, one side with zippers instead of binding, so it can be flapped down for side access to load and unload the machine, and maybe adding shoulderstraps for backpack use, and I could finally bring my own machine to the repair cafe, where I do textile repairs. No need to getting used to the other machines all over again, because I never know which of the three machines is available.

    Now to try out, what my Toyota Jeans machind can do with old Jeans and stiff bag interlining. My binding will probably be not as neat, but we will try, what is in our capabilities.
    I am wondering, if I shouls work up a little bag sewing tutorial to hand out to our slow fashion sewing meetup tomorrow.

    Lovely demo w/great camera work! I would have added casings to the old bags, along the sides and tops. Boning inserts or even narrow dowels could then be inserted for support. This would allow removal or replacement for washing of bags. I find that moist veggies, leaky bottles and broken eggs need the wash. Nevertheless, your new bags are beautiful!

    First, that was a stellar sewing job. Your bag is 1000x better than any you could buy. Second, what fantastic equipment you have! I didn't realize when I took up sewing a couple years ago what an expensive hobby it is. Third, I just bought my step-up sewing machine replacing a basic beginner model. It's nothing a pro would use, but I think that for $600 they could've added that little seam guide you have. I'd trade 100 of the unnecessary stitches they gave me for one seam guide!
