    This rant has gone on long enough. I'm getting complaints about these types of rants, so lets keep it down a little. This thread is now locked. Tom

    Hey @pete your file did not get attached! Just the file name. Can you post it here as a jpeg file please? Tom

    So you need to reduce the file size. See this thread for some help with reducing file sizes. At 800 x 600 pixels, you can post over a hundred photos. Tom

    If your leather isn't totally dry when you start flexing it, it will lose a lot of definition. But too dry when tooling means you can't get a good deep impression. Flexing the leather, folding it, stretches the outside of the fold, and in most cases won't return to its original state. Tom

    OP appears to be from Chicago area according to his IP address. @RememberingGS It's a good idea to put your location in your profile. Also we would like to see some pictures so we know what you have. Tom

    You can back stitch with the machine, or you can cut the tails long and back stitch manually using the saddle stitch method. If you are using leather point needles in your machine, the chisel points may shred the thread if you back stitch on the machine. Otherwise, as above. Fredk is a good resource for information. Tom

    Measure and make sure the cutting disks are large enough diameter for the added thickness. Also make sure that the throat has adequate clearance. Stress wise, should be lower stress with a single cut at your desired width. We just came out of a week long deep freeze, down to -32C. Reached +4C last night with a mild Chinook. Didn't break the 0 today, but very nice outdoors in comparison. Tom
