It jammed, so does it have a safety clutch? If so, you need to reset it. Can't do anything with the timing it it is tripped.

Moved to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.

Part of it is the burnishing from your stamping, and that is what you want. Over a few days the NFO will even out as it migrates a little. I'm always cautious adding NFO. Light applications. Like dye, it is easy to add more, not easy to take it back out.

Yes, state it is free. Some comment about shipping or meet up.

According to the IP address, he appears to be in New Jersey. @MDeBo Should add your location to your profile so you get answer relative to your location.

Give the fellows some time to see your request. They aren't sitting in front of their devices waiting on you. This is a worldwide forum, 8 hours isn't enough to go around once!

You could tag Uwe to see what is available. There is another recent thread about add-on tables. @Uwe

You have the answer, but I moved your post to leather sewing machines anyhow.

Even though this machine is not a leather sewing machine, I have moved your post to leather sewing machines as this is where the sewing machine guys hang out. You'll get others comments.

I've seen this comment before, but after thinking about it a little that doesn't make sense. If so the whole piece should turn blue/black as the iron would be equally dissolved through out the water, not in little globs (unless old pipes with rusty scale flaking off).

@Jassu "I tried the machine and noticed that the needle does not move when I press the pedal" Does the motor run? Does it buzz or make any noise? Does the belt slip? Can you turn the sewing machine pulley by hand with the belt off? Does the motor pulley turn easily with the belt off? Is the sewing machine seized up? You need to provide more information - tell us what you see and hear. Then we can help you. We need at least the answers to the above questions. A little video saved on YouTube to show what the machine does would be a help as well. If you test each question, and answer it to yourself, you will be able to point to the area that has a problem instead of just saying the needle doesn't move.

From Google Translate: First of all, I apologize for the typos. I come from Finland, and English is not used every day. I bought a used juki DNU-241 H sewing machine. I tried the machine and noticed that the needle does not move when I press the pedal. Where could you start looking for a fault? Thanks in advance for the answers. It's completely pointless to ask about Finland, because the seamstresses there are such fierce competitors that they don't want to help/advise others. I think it's really stupid, but what can you do. Please use English - That is the default and expectation on LeatherWorker.net. Google Translate works fairly well, not perfect.

Dye will only hide it if it is the same colour and density or darker.

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. This is where the machine guys hang out. This is the best you can do unless you have a good knowledge of balancing procedures and the right diagnostic instrumentation. You would need to do what is called a dynamic balance, measuring the static and couple components and calculating the weight changes and positions to add or subtract weight. Not easy on a sewing machine.

You need to either quote the post like above, or tag the member so they get a notice. Many members haven't set their profile to receive automatic notices. Tag like this - type the @ symbol followed by the member's name, pick the members name from the popup box. @olbar70 you have someone interested in your knife set, see above.

Chuck has it right! Spots that vary from light blue gray all the way to black are a result of a reaction between the tannins in the leather and iron contamination. It could have happened anywhere after tanning until it arrived on your bench. A year or so ago, I had a nice piece of leather that was going to be part of clutch purse with horses figure carved on both sides of the purse. I cased and transferred my pattern onto the leather bagged it over night. In the morning, I came back to it and there was this blue spot outside of what would be the carved area, so couldn't be hidden with tooling or dye. There was a tiny piece of metal embedded in the leather just below the surface. So it had got there during the tanning or finishing process. Like Chuck says, keep all iron filings and fleeings (fine particles of metal dust in the atmosphere) away from your leather and off your bench. Even turning on a fan could be enough to blow iron dust laying on any surfaces around your work space. As a matter of interest, you can look up vinegaroon, used to 'dye' leather blue/black. It's really not dye, but a chemical reaction.

@bbt91 When you quote part of a post or the whole post, leave it in the quote box. Type your post below the quote box. Then members can see the quote and understand your reply.

Please post good ones you found, even though they aren't exactly what you want. I and I suppose others would like to see them. Thank you in advance.

@bstubre You don't seem interested in replying to posts left here for you. If no response by the end of this week, your post will be locked and archived for non-response.
