Welcome. Add your location to your profile so you can make local contacts, and find local suppliers, etc. Tom

You don't understand the concept. I simply suggested that you add your location to your profile. I don't care if you put it in your profile the same as you posted earlier in this thread, "the great NorthEast between CT, NY, PA, WV. & OHIO" or NE USA, or a rocket ship floating around the moon. Identifying your location in the universe helps get you information and assistance from your part of the universe, which may be much more relevant than if you were on Mars or Venus. Tom

Either post some photos or I will lock the thread and move it to old/sold. Also would be nice if you could add your location to your profile. @Hdemetrious Tom

It would be a good idea to put your approximate location in your profile so you get answers related to your area. This is a world wide forum. Tom

@fiftycrushplan You are more likely to sell items in the Marketplace area so I have moved your post there. You need to provide pictures so members can see what you have. Needs full descriptions, will you ship, etc. See the Marketplace rules. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ You may need to reduce picture file sizes to post them here. Tom

Really is a good idea to put your approximate location in your profile. Makes it much easier to help those requesting help, especially for materials and supplies resources. (I can check IP addresses, but it takes time to do that. The forum software changed a few months ago so it is more of a run-around to find the IP location now. I would sooner be doing other things.) Tom

I'm around usually about every 24 hours. I get an email notice when someone sends me a PM, so can usually respond in a couple hours, except for my night time. Then of course, there are days I'm away from home, so could take longer now and then. Tom

Check the patterns in the linked posts. They have an expandable insert. Tom

Better machine, much more adjustable than the other cheaper designs like the one linked to by the OP. Tom

@Omer Moved your post to leather sewing machines. More likely to get help here. Have you contacted Techsew for this info?http://www.techsew.com/contacts/ I suppose you are looking at this kijiji ad.https://www.kijiji.ca/v-hobbies-craft/fredericton/techsew-3800-leather-sewing-machine/1478826380 The owner should know whether it has NPS or not. It is an option, just like options on cars, etc. Tom

During our summers in 2017 and 2018 Aussie firefighters were here in British Columbia during BC's serious fires to assist. Several groups from Canada are reciprocating. More are on their way now. Just a couple news stories about supporting the Aussies. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/canadians-australia-fires-1.5406295 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/canadian-firefighters-australia-wildfires-1.5410727 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-dozens-of-canadian-fire-fighting-experts-on-ground-in-australia/ My wife's family is from Australia, so have many relatives there. Most of them are not in threatened areas, but are subject to the smoke and ash. Praying for all. Tom

@bryan4christ Moved your post to leather sewing machines. You'll likely get more help here. But, since there are multitudes of things that can go wrong with a sewing machine, all the way from operator problems to mechanical problems, you have to describe what your particular problem happens to be. No crystal balls here! Take photos, even video can help. Maximum file size for uploads here is rather small, so aim for photos around 800 x 600, or 1280 x 1024. Tom

Tandy used to have one, so went looking for it. Sadly they don't list it anymore in the https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/ Tom

@Omer Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. @Constabulary I think he means turning the presser foot to change directions? Just a guess! Tom

Home domestic machines are not suitable for most leather sewing. They can do okay on a couple layers of thin soft leather. The material being stitched is advanced by the feed dogs under the material. The presser foot holds the material down so the feed dogs can dig in and advance the material. The tighter the presser foot spring is turned down, the more friction there is impeding the material from advancing. You need a walking foot machine for bags and up. (Not a domestic walking foot, they are not the same thing.) Look in the forum for leather sewing machines. Lots of info there about what you need. Check out and study this post Tom

He hasn't been back here to answer any questions since Sep 27. I'm going to lock this post and move it to Old/Sold. Tom

I also have a TS 2700. My experience with the servo is much the same as Wizcrafts. Also replaced with a FS-550 and speed reducer. Good machine, no complaints. Also use 138 thread, and sometimes 207 on the top. Takes some time to adjust tension when you keep swapping thread sizes for different projects. Tom

@McLestergl hasn't been around since Dec 3 last year. I locked and moved this post to old/sold. Tom

Editing your post is only available for a short time, maybe a couple hours. Tom

@twotrees Would be helpful to post a link to the ad. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industrial/oshawa-durham-region/pfaff-335/1472984809 Tom

@Aurita Have you read and studied this post? If not, I recommend you do so. I'm moving this thread to leather sewing machines. Tom

It's a good idea to put your location in your profile. Tom

@Lowball72 Moved your post to Saddle and Tack Accessory Items. I think you may get more response from this forum since you are dealing with Tack. Tom

have you read this thread? One sewing machine may not do what you want. Depends on how thin you small leather projects are and what thread sizes you want. Upholstery type machine will do lighter weight materials, but for saddle skirting, you need something much heavier. Tom

Seems like the strap under the arm pit would be rather irritating after wearing it for an hour or so. Maybe it should be lower? But that would require a substantial redesign to be able to do that. I have no experience with this, just know what it would do to me! You work looks pretty good. Keep it up! Tom
