  8. Hi,I havent been around for a while.Iam back to sewing hunting pouches.I oiled my sewing machine and wanted to run it for awhile.My hands got oil on them and I know I tried 10 times to put the bobbin in.Each time it slipped from my hand.or I dropped the part with the thread.I had a strong magnet to pick it up from under the machine.I set back and looked at it and I said there has to be a better way.I had the answer in my hand,I put the strong magnet to the bobbin and set it in there where it should be.We get to soon old and to late smart.navy --my machine is consew 206 R
  9. Hi,I make leather hunting bags .I think you should use Dacron and or Nylon for making holsters.They will hold up better than any natural thread.I have bought a lot of things from these people.They wont cheat you and the price you see has shipping included.Old Navy http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/thread.htm
  10. Thanks to you both.I will check everything you suggested.navy
