Final result

The letter CMY can saw but not perfect. The problem is the feeding speed not suitable. When I repeat more sawing exercise. I master the skill to release my shoulder and not forcing push the bag handle when sawing. I get the better result .

Further practise

Different feeding speed and tenson will affect the results. Skillful technique are required to use a sewing machine. It is a interest topic for me futher study in FABLAB.
