Anyways... a sewing machine does the same job as a needle and thread...
That depends on your shift boot.
The shift boot I had was from an EK1 and it had metal tabs which held it in place on the metal housing. Would require me to bend them back to take the boot off.
And also there's a round stopper up the top to which the material is attached to, so if you're able to get that out then yes a sewing machine would speed up the process.
