The further sail making "adventures" All that follows are experiments. Which have probably already been done by others. A first test with a piece the cotton cloth. On this machine : the smaller the number the longer the stitching, the 0 goes backwards. The smallest stitching (about 1mm) thus results in a line. Results test 1 with a trial sail. 1 learn to stitch better and straighter(need to practice more) 2 Indeed too thick, but this can be camouflaged with the rope that is sewn around it. 3 the texture of the fabric is indeed quite rough. Test 2 with the mizzen sail. Looks pretty decent. But the silcspan will also deserves a chance after this. Thanks for folowing, comments and likes

Geweldig... Awesome Thank you very much, much appreciated No, The stitching was a test whether the machine works properly. This will be trying and testing first. To see which stitching will look good. The cotton sheet looks ok. And somewhere I hope to be able to use it. I actually like this work with a sewing machine (makes me relax) The cotton is of course too thick (in a real it is about half an inch thick) But with a rope sewn around it hopefully it won't be noticeable. All options are still open Once I found this on MSW and printed it. But I can't find this on the site anymore. Only through google search https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Rigging_and_Sails/ScaleSails.pdf

https://www.conrad.com/p/thin-thread-mbz-92034-005-mm-658146 Found this very thin wire 0.05mm for use on scale railways. But will it be delivered in Australia? I also found a review in Dutch For scaled telegraph cables : apparently not good For rigging ships?? dont know Ik had naar aanleiding van het tekstje op de site verwacht dat het een draad is die keurig gaat hangen, aan bijvoorbeeld telegraafmasten. Ik wilde het gebruiken voor spoor N telegraafkabels. Deze draad krult echter alle kanten op, en is ook niet door te knippen, want dan wordt het echt een plosje haar. Dus verdunde houtlijm geprobeerd op een stukje. Ook niets. De draad zuigt geen vocht op en blijft krullen. Dit is dus totaal niet bruikbaar voor dit doel. English : I wanted to use it for track N telegraph cables. However, this thread curls in all directions, and cannot be cut, because then it really becomes a floppy hair. So tried diluted wood glue on a piece. Also nothing. The thread does not absorb moisture and continues to curl.

With patience, WD40 and gun oil (I don't have sewing machine oil) Old real mechanics (love it) Some problems here and there The bottom wire was not picked up at first. The footplate did not move. finally after years of neglect a "singing sewing machine" 20210726_191014.mp4 The first sewing test And the sails are drawn on the sheet. The thinnest cotton I found (0.35mm thick) Thanks for following, likes and comments

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
