machines have several adjustments that allow for fine tuning
the folder for optimum performance depending on the
tape used. Folders cost several hundred dollars.

Another type of attachment is used to feed reinforcing
tape such as 3/8" Ty-3 onto a canopy seam. This is a simple
guide, which is attached to the presser foot and feeds
the tape evenly to the needles. Yet another attachment is a
seam folder used to make a French fell seam in canopy
construction. Figure 6-82 on page 6-22 shows both of the
above attachments used in conjunction with each other.
Over the years, the sewing industry has developed literally

THE PARACHUTE LOFT
The term “loft” comes from earlier times when the area
used to pack and maintain parachutes was usually situated
in the aircraft hangar above the aircraft. Hence, the
term “loft.” The name has continued to this day and is
synonymous with the parachute workshop.
Under 14 CFR, subsection 65.127(b), a rigger must have:
“Suitable housing that is adequately heated, lighted, and
ventilated for drying and airing parachutes.” Under 14
CFR, subsection 65.127(d), the rigger must have:
“Adequate housing facilities to perform his duties and to
protect his tools and equipment.” All of this only makes
sense in that the properties stipulated are those that are
best suited for storing and maintaining parachutes.
Although these regulations have been in effect for over 40
years and were originally intended to apply to parachutes
with organic fibers in them, they still apply today. From
the practical side, keeping yourself and the parachute
warm promotes efficient work habits. Good lighting means
that you can properly inspect the parachute. Ventilated
means that the parachute is properly dried before packing.
Keeping your tools clean, dry, and serviceable means that
you can do the correct job on the parachute.
Most individuals have been to automotive garages where
there was oil on the floor and parts strewn everywhere. In
contrast, modern professional garages sometimes look like
hospital facilities in their cleanliness and organization.
Where would you take your car? The same is true with the
loft, as depicted in figure 6-83. A clean, organized, and welldesigned
loft inspires customer confidence in the rigger’s
ability to work on the parachute.
