  1. are they available for sale? Will they punch through two layers of leather gluded together?
  2. The machine is a Cowboy 3500 using #277 thread and #25 needle. I can't just put a new color thread and take right off . I always have to play with till if will sew right.
  3. I have a heck of a time adjusting the tension, both bobbin and top threads. Sometimes I even get loops on top of the belt. It seems that every time I change thread colors I have to start the adjustment all over again. Is there a book out there anywhere addressing leather machine sewing?
  4. I seam to have a lot of trouble adjusting the tension of the bobbin and top thread. Sometimes I get loops on top. When I do get it to sew right and have to change colors I have to start all over again with the tension. I have a cowboy 3500 using 277 thread and #25 needles. I didn't think you should have to readjust the tension every time.
  5. I'll give that a try . Thanks
  6. I've been trying to sew a belt with two rows of stitching but when I get to the point and try to continue down the other side the stitching never goes around the point and comes outlooking bad. How do the big belt makers have it look so nice at the point? Jerry

      It also helps to oil the leather first.

      Skidmores Leather Cream or Dr. Jacksons Hide Rejuv before final assembly will help. They will darken the leather some however.

      I learned that spraying the area you are folding with warm water and a little dish soap helps keep the leather on the surface of the bend from crac king. I also will use a french skiver to take just a little off the area of the bend on the flesh side. Of course I have had some pre-cut belt blanks that cracked no matter what I did, just cheap leather.
