Some photos may help perk some interest. Reduce photo sizes to 800 pixels in the longest dimension so they fit the size constraints here.

Merged the 2 threads into one since they are dealing with the same problem.

You already have this question in another post. Don't need to clutter up the site with multiple instances of the same thing. Stick with it instead of starting a new thread. You can go to that post and see that I answered what you problem is likely to be.

Turn the handwheel a little further until the take up lever is all the way to the top before you pull the piece out from under the foot.

Check any changes to the top tension. Make sure the thread is properly seated between the tension disks. What changed? Increase the top tension if the only thing you did different was sew leather instead of something else, or thicker or harder leather. Changes in needle or thread also affect the tension. You need enough top tension to pull the knot up into the leather.

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. You appear to be using a standard conical point needle best suited to fabrics. Switch to a leather point that cuts a small slot rather than blowing out the bottom side. More members will be along with similar comments. You can do some research in this forum about what needles to use.

Something happened to these photos. They are no longer accessible, reducing any value this thread could have. Please re-post here. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate as most monitors, tablets, smart phones can't show high resolutions. 800 pixels nicely fills the screen for most devices and browsers.
