Hi Charlie, i'm a novice when it comes to leather, but being a seamstress i have beem using sewing machines for years and it sounds like you may have a very slightly damaged needle, even a tiny nick or miniscule bend in the point can cause threads to snap

Evening Charlie, I have a Ferdco baby bull and had this problem about 10 years ago. It ended up being a timing problem. What was cutting the thread in my case was the shuttle spring being in slightly the wrong postition during the sewing process. I called Ferdco and they walked me through the fix over the telephone.
