I bought a Singer Heavy Duty 4411 (not industrial) machine that was relatively inexpensive a while back with hopes of doing my seats (not sure anymore that I want to do something like that but the machine is always handy to have around) and got a walking foot attachment which seems to be useful particularly when sewing the velcros. I made a fence that I will bond to the floor (avoid doing any layups inside the airplane anymore if I can). Made it out of the thinnest and most stretchy vinyl fabric I could find. Have not installed it yet but will report when I do. Thanks for the sample Tim. It really helped getting this done relatively quick.

Looks good and fibreglass fence essential. Velcro makes it easy t o inspect control column universal on annual inspection, by simply shifting b oot up the column.
