Texas Leatherworks

So I checked the flywheel screws and they were tight. I adjusted the presser foot just a little. I change the size of the thread from 138 to a 92 and then it started stitching. I have used 18 in this machine before with out any issues. The machine is 73 years old so i can understand it is getting worn out. I'm 70 and i am feeling the same way. Thank you so much for the response and the suggestions. SO far it seems to be working.

Yes I can turn it when it stops and the needle will lift up to get the material out. I will check to see if the flywheel is lose. Great suggestion. Thank you

When I put a piece of leather in the machine it will punch the holes perfectly. When I thread the machine up the needle stops at the top of the material and won't go through to start stitching. The fly wheel just spins. What adjustments do I need to do to correct this? The machine is well oiled and free from all thread and dirt..a very clean machine. Thanks

Great job beautiful work.

It's machine stitched with a singer 3150. Thank you for the compliment.

My shop is in Buda Texas just outside of Austin. I have been leather crafting for about 27 years and totally enjoy making new things. Here are a few things I have made in the past.
