  1. Moved to leather sewing machines. Tom
  2. Some of these old documents don't scan very well. I tried to enhance them a little without spending a lot of time, but mostly did it so members could download the manual in a PDF without getting pages out of order and in a single download. Thanks for posting the manual in the first place. I'm sure a number of people appreciate it. Tom

  17. Looks like it's time to go back to the basics and start over again from there. Make sure the machine is threaded correctly. Do you have a manual? If no manual go to this thread. The groove on the needle should be facing the left end of the machine when seated in front of it. Twisting it one way or the other slightly can make a difference to how the hook picks off the loop. The typical needle / thread combinations are in this link. In the photo you posted above, the knot is appearing at the top of the leather. That means the top tension is too high as compared to the bottom tension. How thick is the leather? It needs to be maybe 3 to 4 times the thickness of the thread to be able to hide the knot inside the leather. Try thicker leather and see how it behaves. The skipped stitches (if the hook and needle bar are adjusted right) is because the loop is dissolving before the hook can catch it, or it is not forming large enough. If the presser foot pressure is too low, the leather can lift with the needle, thus no loop to catch. Hope this helps you. Most of my machine problems have been of my own making. It sometimes take me quite a few test runs to properly adjust the tension when I change leather and thread sizes. Tom
  18. For iPad/iPhone users, take a look at these links for information on reducing your picture's file size so you can post it. https://osxdaily.com/2014/04/21/resize-photos-from-iphone-mail/ This one requires installation of an app. https://www.imore.com/how-crop-resize-photos-your-iphone-and-ipad Tom
  19. For other iPad users since you have yours figured out, look at these links. https://osxdaily.com/2014/04/21/resize-photos-from-iphone-mail/ This one requires installation of an app. https://www.imore.com/how-crop-resize-photos-your-iphone-and-ipad Tom
  20. @Nate88 Please upload photos here rather than using third party hosting. If permissions are changed, photo deleted, or moved, the link becomes useless, and makes this thread useless for others to refer to in the future. We have enough dead links here when you really start looking around. Tom
  21. @JLT Please read the marketplace rules and comply. State your location, also whether you ship, who pays shipping, etc. It's a good idea to put your approximate location in your profile since this is a world wide forum. Helps to understand any nuances due to country or culture. Tom

  23. Try this google search "site:leatherworker.net box stitch miter" without the quotes. site:leatherworker.net restricts the search to leatherworker.net. Add what ever search parameters you wish to use to narrow the search or to increase the possibles. The first result returned in this case (when I searched) should give you the answer you are looking for, as well as additional possible helps. Tom
  24. @mjzae I'm pretty sure Fredk is right. When posting, please give the server and internet time to process and return a response. Some days are slower than others. This was posted 3 times, I have removed the other 2 instances. Tom
