    Not melting! Only warm enough to warm the cement to reactivate it, but instead of pressing it together, you are going to pull it apart. Tom

    Have you updated the motor connections for 220V? Normally the interior wiring of the motor needs to be changed for different voltages. And at 220V, the motor will draw roughly twice the current as it does when wired for 440V. Have you got the wiring diagrams for 220V and 440V to compare where the connections need to be changed? Tom

    If you look back a few posts, you will notice that I advised you I had moved your thread to Leather Sewing Machines so you would get more input from experts in that area. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/87554-stitches-are-looped-under-work/?do=findComment&comment=597663 If you go to the main forum page, you will see all the forums along with descriptions of what they are for. https://leatherworker.net/forum/ We are just trying to keep the posts somewhat organized so people can browse or follow their areas of interest or expertise. It also helps you get answers for particular questions, and allows you to browse or search your areas of interest for tips, photos, helps, etc. Tom

    New subject, start a new post in the applicable forum so you are more likely to get answers from people with such equipment or problems. This is cluttering up an otherwise good thread. As you are no doubt well aware, a bell skiver is not a sewing machine. Tom

    @JeannieH Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll find more help here. Also, see this needle and thread size chart https://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html For straps, the higher the thread tensions, the more likely the strap may curve, and especially if you changed tensions between sides. The leather may also have a natural curve it wants to follow. Tom

    Resewing through old holes throws off the tension settings versus new. Tom

    No apologies necessary. Appreciate your posts. Tom

    Please post your photos (first post in this thread, plus current ones) here. 3rd party hosts links are lost when permissions are changed, host stops sharing or goes out of business, files moved or deleted. When the photos disappear from this thread, the thread becomes useless. Take a look around some of the older posts that used 3rd party hosting and you will see how discouraging this is for people researching a topic. Tom

    Please post your photos on this site. 3rd party hosted photos seem to disappear due to changes in host, moved, deleted, etc. Then this thread becomes useless as no one can view the photos. If you browse threads here, you will see the results unfortunately. Tom

    Check out his link https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-No-Stitch-Leather-Flask-Cover/?fbclid=IwAR2Ltepn9Rm7hOgT9dDzDxFnYaqMHyuS59HP0QkZQ0PxdLUowahTX3uFon4 Tom

    Good start. I know you didn't ask for a critique, but here goes anyhow! Sharpen and strop your swivel knife so it is easier for you to follow the lines. When you think it is sharp enough, sharpen it some more. Strop after every few cuts. Make sure your leather is not to wet. Knife drags a lot when the leather is too wet. It should be practically back to its original colour when it is dry enough. Take your time with your cutting. Pull towards you. Don't get in a big hurry. Hope this helps. Tom

    @GnewVFL Have you attempted a search here looking for what to charge? There are many threads and posts in this forum. Try this search https://leatherworker.net/forum/search/?&q=selling price leatherwork&type=forums_topic&nodes=36,35,22&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy Tom
  14. Northmount
    And your selling price is ?????? Tom
  15. Northmount
    @km6064 Moved your post to the "Marketplace" This is where for sale items should be posted. Please read the markeplace rules https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Please provide the price, any shipping information like local pickup only, or willing to ship at buyer's cost, etc. Tom
  16. Northmount
    From his IP address, he is in the Minneapolis Minnesota USA area. Tom

    @knslbp Moved you post to the Marketplace - for sale since you say you want to sell, not buy! Suggest you read and comply with the Marketplace rules at https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ And obviously, you need to identify where you are located, shipping info, price for each machine, etc. It's a good idea to put your location in your profile. This is a world-wide forum. Tom

    When you fold the leather, you are stretching the outside layer. It isn't elastic. It won't return to it's original size/length. that is just the nature of the beast! Tom

    @ThreeRivers You have accidentally double posted, so I have moved this one to Business and estate sales. Good luck. Tom
  20. Northmount
    Maybe https://howardimprinting.com/ Ebay There is a facebook page for Kingsley, have seen it several times but not able to find it today! Who have you tried so we are not duplicating your efforts? Tom

    @utah leather Have you read through this thread? https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/25239-the-type-of-sewing-machine-you-need-to-sew-leather/ Tom

    Can't always remove distracting backgrounds. Some workshop pictures are even more interesting where we can see some of the tools and other hardware associated with the project. I wouldn't be moving a heavy machine just for a picture. Tom

    Your old digital camera is doing just fine. The rest of improving pictures is practice, same as leatherwork or any other. Composition, lighting, interesting angles, some close ups, etc. Avoid distracting backgrounds if you can, but that is not always possible. Most people here are interested in sewing machines, fixing them, keeping them running, etc. Tom

    Have you done a search here for existing threads? Here are 2 that I found in a quick search. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/53981-needle-size-thread-spi-and-leather-weight-rule-of-thumb/?page=2 https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/55351-ideal-stitch-length-for-specific-thread-size/ Tom
