Wiz, Dealer said to ask you guys !

Im not worried as much about the backstitch as i am the small fraying coming up through the top stitch as pictured. The back stitch was mostly solved by the washer trick ive read about. Far right stitch line is of the top stitch and the small frayed pieces.

Ok so i checked for burrs, None to be found. Redid the tension on top. Tried different needles , needle sizes, point shapes, and thread thicknesses top and bottom ( combinations of 277 / 207) bonded polyester thread. No luck. You can see a little fray on the top stitch and a ton on the bottom stitch. If i go in reverse it is a nightmare with the fraying.

I will try to loose the pressure of the presser foot. What type of needle do you recommend if not the LR

Ok so with leather under foot it is still a little jerky. Tried repositioning the plate with no luck. Here's how the stitch looks . better on top then bottom . bottom is frayed. Also is a picture with all feet and plates and the feed dog. Any suggestions of new setups.

I will try a new combination of feet with the slotted plate. See if it helps and will report back. Really appreciate the help. You guys are the best.

Recently purchased a ferdco which is similar to the class 4. Got it set up, finally got needles and thread in. Put it together and now the foot snaps backward opposed to a smooth motion and the thread appears to be fraying / breaking. Unsure where to start. I never messed with any settings. The foot does this with thread or without. I attached a youtube video of the issue. it sounds terrible Help please !

So the real issue is when using my sewing machine which has a max of 3/4 of an inch. The 2 seams which i made are just far too tall. The skiving idea may work . I will give it a try,

First question for you guys on these forums. I have attempted to make a tote bag out of some 4-5oz oil tan leather and cannot seem to be able to box the corners easily. the leather is just too thick to smoothly sew across to the corners to be able to give it the boxed look. Anyone have any tricks ? attached is an example of the boxed corner.
