  1. His IP address places him in Vancouver, BC, Canada Tom
  2. @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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. @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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Do you have a photo of the stamp you are looking for? Or is a cutting die? Tom
  12. 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
  13. 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. Tom
  14. @spaz12gg To lubricate what? Sewing machine, or other? Tom
  15. Moved to leather sewing machines Tom
  16. Merged the 2 threads Tom
  17. Old thread from 2010, TwinOaks hasn't been around since August 2017. Tom
  18. Moved to used sewing machines Tom
  19. @Reacher10 I've merged your 3 posts into one. Please don't hit the post button multiple times. Let the server and internet catch up with you, give them a little time. And make sure you are editing, not starting a new post over again. Thanks, Tom
  20. Yes neetsfoot oil does darken leather all by itself. If you are using a dark dye, that may not be a problem. But if you wish to maintain the lighter original colour of the leather, don't use it. Tom
  21. There are a few threads here about trying to remove excess oil. Suggestions have been to bury it in cornstarch, floor dry, kitty litter, etc. to absorb the oil. Need to stir it around a few times a day, may take several days. I haven't seen the results from anyone that posted the question. Tom
  22. Older you get, the less you hear. One day you may not hear any snap! Machine fixed! Tom
  23. Pretty fancy! Nice job. Tom
  24. P, S or SD are better for leather. Conical point R blows out the back of the leather instead of cutting a slit. Tom
  25. I would say rotate the keeper 180 degrees so it will lay flatter when you pull the belt end through it. Tom
