For sleeves and pant legs, do you need to lift machine to position fabric on free arm?

No, there's no such need. There's enough place to fit a sleeve and pant leg without lifting the machine. You just need to unattach one part of the machine which is placed in front and you can sew (it's very easy).

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

When I purchased these, the leg press was a separate item, priced additionally, and installation required disabling the leg curl feature from the gym. This was a couple of years ago, so don't know the arrangement today.

No leg cuffs, that is a new innovation for the total gym. Perhaps they will add them in the future? I also wish my machine had dip bars as well, but I can't really complain about all I can do for the price. I also like the total gym's new handle, as the cables do not pull down on your arms as much, if any. But the bottom plate still works well enough for lower body exercises.

I agree with Charles. You will need one sleeve for each side. The lat machine as is accommodates 1" diameter weights.

You will be able to pull up the skin on your legs and arms which will tighten it. Remember, you will have to wear short sleeves and shorts or skirts long enough to cover the tape.

The vinyl on the arms goes to just below the elbow and on the legs to just below the knees. I think the cloth would show if wearing a short sleeve shirt. Please contact us if we may be of assistance at 915 637 5168 the busy lady gift shop

It works better if the garment is laying flat like on a table so you can run it over the fuzzies. And how would you ever be able to do your own back. Take the garment off, lay it flat and run the Conair over it.

Absolutely! The lower and upper arms are independant of each other so you can leave a set off, I actually only have 1 set of arms on right now myself!

Perhaps a bit for pulldowns, but you can adjust by kneeling or squatting in front facing the machine when doing pulldowns. You should be OK for the other exercises.

Arms are not installed but you might want to see if they need to be. The spacing more adaquate for me and I am not a skinny person. You can try it with or without the arms and see which works best for you.Dale

My basic answer to this is "Yes", you can exercise both legs and arms while seated. That is the way I use mine. But I did find that when seated and trying to reach the arm handles the position did not suit me. So I removed the screw in pins that attach the upper arm sections and that allows me to turn the handles so that I can reach them. This was an easy fix. The handles don't fall off. I have contemplated getting little screw type hose clamps to fit over the tubing at the socket for the handles to clamp them in the position I find most comfortable. But it works well with the handles just sitting loose in the pipe. I will say that when sitting and exercising it is difficult for me to see the computer screen. I don't use the built in programs so it doesn't really matter. What I really wish for is a simple screen that would allow me to set the resistance and to clock the time I have spent. Or else count my strides. So that I know how much work I have done. Hope this helps.

Yes, just be careful and try different settings on depth guard and try inside garment first. I remove depth guard and just lightly pass over fabric continuously until desired result is achieved.

I don't think so. The arms seem to be an integral part of the way the back of the chair reclines. When my chair arrived, the arms were not attached and needed to be so. Besides all that, you might find them most useful when you wish to get up out of the chair or return the usual sitting position.

Yes you can perform lying leg curls on it, you just have to remove the curl platform before doing so.......

Having used it, I would say only if you pulled your legs up in the front. I installed a pull up bar on the wall just to be able to use these.

No. I usually hold out the pant leg at an angle from the hanger and run the steamer over it more than once. If you are looking for something like you get from the dry cleaners, I think an iron is the best way.
