Not enough presser foot pressure if the leather is lifting the foot on the needle's upstroke is another cause. It destroys the loop the hook is trying to grab, skipping a stitch or multiple stitches.

The required presser foot pressure depends on the material that you are sewing. If it is heavy hard thick leather, you will need more foot pressure to keep the leather from lifting the foot (due to the needle on the up stroke) , destroying the loop, and skipping a stitch. So more pressure for the thick hard stuff, and less pressure for thin soft stuff. To limit the foot marking the top of vegtan leather, the foot pressure needs to be kept low. So you have to test and find the sweet spot for the work you are doing. Thus the statement to "tighten until it seems about right".

Accounts aren't deleted as it may destroy the integrity of many threads, especially if the user has posted many times in many threads. Username and identifying characteristics may be changed in order to protect the user's privacy.

Over the past couple months, there has been a lot of spam posted. Some is a new user just registered to post spam. There are other cases where they have broken into accounts by hacking the password to the account. Several of these cases have been older accounts where the user has only posted once, and may not be following leatherworker.net any more. If you are using simple passwords or common passwords like "123", "password", "qwerty", etc. PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR PASSWORD. There are lists of common passwords available on the net. These hackers run those lists against a username login and in many cases have a match within 2 to 5 seconds. Some of these spammers are from Montreal, New York, and other cities, or may be using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to hide their IP address and location, so they can be from anywhere. If your account is hacked and you are not a frequent user, I will simply mark the user as a spammer and you will no longer have access to post here. I've given up trying to get these one time users to change their passwords as it is just a waste of my time. To the rest of your that are frequent users, just upgrade your password so it's not easy to crack. Kaspersky is in the cyber security business. How to make strong passwords.

Take a look at these saddle pictures. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/47182-wet-moulding-and-carving-in-what-order-and-how-much-water/?do=findComment&comment=452495

It works for me. It is posted by NOVA | PBS. "Watch the last remaining master animal-skin parchment maker in the world demonstrate how paper was made in medieval Europe".

It's one thing for a surgeon to pull iron pieces out of an eye with the help of a magnet. Doesn't work for grit from a grindstone. Eyesight recovery is less likely. I worked for a foreman that blew dust out of a hole he drilled to set an anchor in a brick wall. The dust blew straight back into his eye and he didn't have it properly cared for. (Was probably in the 50s or 60s when they didn't have all the capability for microsurgery we have today.) Got infection in it and lost his eye. Became known as One-Eyed Jake. The simple little things that we do without realizing how dangerous they really are when we should, with a little common sense, realize the likely risk.

2000 to 4000 grit.

A couple photos would be nice Also add who pays shipping costs and any other limitations for shipping, Europe, Australia, etc.

Yes, the mines in northern Saskatchewan should be coming back to life and ramping up production with the world wide demand increasing. During the latter part of WWII, yellow cake was shipped by barge from Uranium City across Lake Athabasca and upstream on the Athabasca river to Fort McMurray AB where it was transferred to rail box cars. The yellow cake was in burlap bags that were handled manually so dust was dropped at all the transfer points, inhaled by the Cree and Metis workers. Many of them died of lung cancer. Once loaded into the box cars, it found its way through cracks in the floor and was distributed along the rail line. In the early to mid 70s, they had to clean up the contamination at these transfer points and along the rail bed. We can only hope that there are safer procedures in place today than back then. (Fort McMurray was home for us from 71 through 79.)

I must apologize to you Thadrick. I shouldn't draw conclusions based on one fragment of information. I had assumed the phone would be wrapped rather than just one side, between the phone and you. With your history, I'm sure I'd be probably even more paranoid about having more problems develop over time. I totally agree with having a cell phone handy for emergencies. That and the connection to my hearing aid are the main reasons I carry mine all the time. It helps finding addresses too! Off topic, but what type of boiler work do you do? I've been a steam/stationary/power engineer (which ever name your jurisdiction uses) for 55 years now. Have seen some interesting events (no BOOMS) as well as call outs to determine the cause of failures when the shift engineer couldn't figure out the cause of problems on his shift.

I was a little concerned about the quotation marks around leatherworker.net so I tried it out. It works with or without the quotes. Just learned a little more!

I think it is worth the double post. Catches more peoples' attention. Keep up the great work.

I assume that the maker/owner of such a holster must not be interested in receiving calls on their cell phone. Material that blocks RFID will block other electromagnetic radiation (signals) making the cell phone useless wearing it this way! Concerned about radiation from your phone, leave it on your desk/dresser/table at home!

You mean Ukrainian?
