Moved your post to Saddle Construction

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. You should also read this thread.

I would suggest you read this thread to get a better idea of what type of sewing machine you need. One size does not fit all.

Just add the info in a new post to this thread, just like above. People will see it if they are interested in following through. Or tell me and I can go into your original post. Both work. I'm just not online all the time.

You need to either quote a part of their post, or tag them so they get a notification. Like this. Type the @ symbol followed by their username, and pick the name from the popup box. @KathrynRose You have a interested party, see above.

Hi Ferg, reminder, you need to post the price of the smoothing hammer and how you are going to or want to handle shipping.

My wife's grandfather was a cobbler in Adelaide. He held nails in his mouth while working. He died of bacterial meningitis in 1947 that was supposedly transferred from rats to the nails. There were many rats and they had the run of the shop like many old buildings. I also know a man that was re-shingling a chicken coop (wood shingles late 1950s) and holding the shingle nails in his mouth. He coughed or sneezed and swallowed at least 1 nail. He didn't go see a doctor to check or do anything about it. It tore his gut up, just about died. Had a colostomy for months while his gut healed. Let's be safe, keep stuff out of your mouth that doesn't belong there.

What type of file are you trying to upload? jpg, tif, ?? jpg is best. There might be some useful info below. If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

If you reverse before the hook has caught the loop, it will at the minimum skip a stitch. For many machines, the needle should rise 1/4" or so before you reverse. (Same when turning sharp corners.)

Kenner hasn't been on this site since May 24. We'll have to see if he's still interested enough to respond.

@rac1812 Moved your post to leather sewing machines. If your material is too thin and the thread is too thick, you can't hide the knots in the material regardless of what you do with your tension settings.

Went to the local Tandy a couple weeks ago to get the double shoulder vegtan at this sale price. None in stock, didn't arrive, you can order it on the web (and pay shipping). I asked about them ordering it to pick up in the store. Sure we can do that, you pay the shipping though anyhow. Not buying that! I've bought from Tandy here since 1961, through several managers and locations. Finding I have less interest in purchasing from Tandy with all the changes in the past5 years or so.

Take a look through this thread, You might find some help here. If not, there are lots more posts in the forum 'sewing leather'.

I'm no expert with sewing machines so take this with a grain of salt. The holes look too large, so maybe try a smaller needle size. Also looks like you could use a little more tension on the top and bottom. Does the other side look the same?
