Need enough presser foot pressure to stop the leather from lifting. That also causes skipped stitches. Tom

Do a google search with something like this "site:leatherworker.net power skiver", minus the quotes. You will find lots about power skivers, setup, problems, use, etc.

An airbrush should be adequate. It's not like you are trying to paint a wall with a airbrush that only covers 2" diameter circle. It is also easy to overlap without leaving defined edges on the overlap. There are lots of posts about using airbrushes, size, model, etc. here. Do a goggle search limited to this site "site:leatherworker.net airbrush" the string site:leatherworker.net limits google to searching this site. You can click on the link and save yourself time typing it in. You can add other terms into the search string to limit or better define the results you are looking for. Tom

Be careful not to lift the presser foot too high and lose your top tension. Just ease it up enough to be able to turn the leather a little. If you lift the foot and turn before the hook has grabbed the loop, you could drop a stitch. So best to wait to turn until the needle has risen maybe 1/4" but still well into the leather. Tom

@strudell You have some people interested if you would care to follow up your post. Tom

A google search finds these links plus many more (singer 17w15 sewing machine): http://www.usa-dealer.net/SINGER-17W15-heavy-duty-zig-zag-sewing-machine_p_1694.html https://www.manualslib.com/manual/364455/Singer-17w15.html Tom

I assume you are hanging onto the threads when starting a line of stitching? Tom

Register a trademark name owned by your company. I have also used 'xxxx' division of 'yyyy'. You can register trade names and trade marks. Regulations vary by state and country, but trade marks have similar requirements in most areas. Note if registered in only one state, it is possible for someone in another state to use and register your trademark. There is something about federal registrations, but I can't recall what it was, other than it covers all states. Tom

@turkeyknocker Show us a couple more photos, individual tool from various angles. Do they have a sharp edge for cutting? Tom

His IP address places him in Vancouver, BC, Canada Tom

@HoloWhips Larger motor pulley increases machine speed and decreases available torque. Did you mean it has a smaller pulley on it and you have the larger one to supply with the machine? Tom

There is a faint line below "Quote, Edit, Options". Below that faint line on the right is an "X" (faint). Mouse over it and it turns dark and a "tip" appears saying "Ignore signature preferences" and you make your selection. You can also go to your profile and chose who and what to ignore from there. Tom

You will have to log in as a different user as your signature line is not normally displayed to yourself (that might be inconsistent as I can see mine, but it is just text). I had set my profile to ignore your signature line due to its size quite some time ago. I re-enabled it just a few moments ago and don't see your signature line on your posts, so either the server is ignoring my change, or you have dropped your signature line while trying to sort it out. Tom

Try this search https://www.google.ca/search?q=leather+hip+bag&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=NoyRWv-zKoygjwO6tK2oAg Tom

That works too. Depends on your preferences and your machine. Some easy to adjust stitch length on the run, others not so easy. And of course, you can see above that practice helps a lot. Tom

@Angebe appears to be located in Berwick, Victoria, 3806, Australia I would recommend that all members add their location to their profile so other members can provide the best help. There are leather sewing machine dealers in Australia that can fix, recommend, provide parts etc. Tom

Another possibility, are you lifting the presser foot too high when going around corners? That can lead to skipped stitches. Also, make sure the needle is done and has started to rise before lifting the presser foot to navigate around corners. Too high a lift lets the top tension go. Tom

You have to ease the presser foot up just enough to be able to slide the belt a little to line up the stitch at the tip. Tom

Here is one thread you might like to peruse. Also you may do a google search "site:leatherworker.net wallet card slot" without the quotes for many more threads. The site qualifier restricts the search to this site. Tom

Do you have a photo of the stamp you are looking for? Or is a cutting die? Tom

His IP address places him/her in Oceanside CA @BrownChicken I would recommend to all members that they include their location in their profile so they can get information that is related to the area they live in. Might even find a neighbour that has answers for you or could help help teach you, or solve a problem for you. Tom

Christianlikeswhiskey starts threads asking for help, but never responds to those attempting to help him. Posts no information, photos, nor video as has been asked to allow anyone to attempt to help him. See his previous posts at http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/77296-techsew-3850-trouble/?tab=comments#comment-511300 and http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/77462-sewing-machine-help/?tab=comments#comment-512616 @Christianlikeswhiskey I would suggest that instead of whining, that you take an active part in working with your vendor and the members here to help you resolve your sewing machine problems.

@spaz12gg To lubricate what? Sewing machine, or other? Tom
