  1. Been doind some biker wallets here and there....I use 3-4 oz veg tan on the outside, but glue on a liner leather (abt. 2oz ) the inside is always 2-3 oz veg tan...sometimes I sneak in a 3-4 oz chrome tan piece for the last pocket near flap.... So pretty much the same as others stated here....if you need a cpy of a biker wallet template, PM me... Aloha Jimbob.

      Help? I went through two summers with

      100*F plus weather and no air or

      pool. Only thing I can suggest is

      to wet down your t-shirt and keep

      a wet cloth handy... drink lots of water.

  11. tnx Wiz... Been thinking about that....stuck small screw driver in there and tried to push blade of spring inwards....no gud,,,,do you recomend removing the spring only ( tight space ) or removing hole bobbin case...? Tnx James
  12. OK, I have this real nice stone old Singer 211-155...in gud working order....never had a problem with it....now I run 138 on top ( mostly what I run for big biker wallets and such...) and often also 138 in the bottom....sometimes 92 in the bottom...for some reason I had to do red and found a cone of flame red in 69....so I run 138 on top and 69 bottom....works fine on thicker material...like 2 times 4 oz or so...yesterday I done a small thin wallet and noticed a birds nest on the bottom....check top tension...all the way loose to make sure knots in the middle of leather...then I checked the bottom tension...boy this thing was plum loose...I mean no resistance...tried to tighten it more...nada....all the way tight...switch to thicker material....all is fine, the knots in the middle and no birds nest...noticed when I go faster, it is getting better,,,,,when I use 138 in bobbin then all is well no matter what thickness I do...just need to adjust my top a bit here and there...often do 207 on top and 138 in bottom bobbin...works great on my bags. So my question is...is the 69 to small for this machine in bottom...? or do we have a problem here.... Any ideas are welcome. Thanks... aloha james

  15. Needles are not cheap, especially the big fat ones....on my Adler 105 I feel for a burr...if it is light I take a 800 grit sandpaper and polish it away...make sure you don't polish away the edge....if the tip has a serious dent toss it,,,,and yes, even if it sounds crazy for a beginner....you can actually hear when a needle gets dull and makes a "thump" sound...then its time to check or change...a needle with a burr cann fuss up your thread and even brake it,,,a serious dent on the tip or a bend needle can do much more serious damage to your hook or other parts!! Any time you turn your baby on ( before power up!!!) feel the needle with your finger nail for a burr!!
