JoeS Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Hi everyone, I have a Boss stitcher that has me stumped as how to get the bottom stitches looking better. I'm using 207 thread on top and bottom with a 180 794s needle. I dropped down from the 200 794s and 277 thread it came with and it doesn't seem much different in 3 or 4 layers of 8/10 oz. Wicket and Craig or on old pieces of leather I have. I have some experience in tension adjustment with smaller old singer industrials and the mckay stitcher at work but I can't seem to find a way to make a knife sheath look decent on the bottom side with this one. I've seen here how nice some machine sewing can be on both sides and am hoping there is something I can do to improve that blowout look, starting with operator error or any other suggestions anyone might have. thanks, joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeS Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Hi tomcat....thanks for your reply. I have seen the Tippmann video and maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I had the tensions adjusted decent. I just don't like the way the needle punches out the leather on the bottom side. Sorry for the bad pics and I wish I had taken the back pics before I tried to "help" the look by dyeing over the thread line. Maybe I need to cut the stitch groove deeper or fool with the tensions more. I thought I might try punching the holes from the back with an unthreaded needle and then stitch from the top, but it seems like the long way around. thanks for looking, joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
