    Please post your photos here, not 3rd party hosted. 3rd party hosted files disappear when user or host change anything, move files, delete files, change policies, go out of business, cancel account, etc. Then the post becomes useless to anyone who wishes to review or study the thread in the future. I copied and posted your photos in your original post. If you have trouble resizing photo files to fit the restrictions here, there are a lot of apps, programs and suggestions (how to) on the web to help you do that.

    Please upload photos here. Photos from websites disappear frequently so makes the post useless for future reference.

    That's not a walking foot. There would be 2 presser feet, an inside, and an outside foot, each with there own presser foot bar.

    It is time to stop the religious rants, etc. I have hidden a number of posts. Get back on topic please. This was a good thread. You don't need to be calling each other down. If it continues, those contributing to the problem will be put under moderation.

    Hi JZD. From your IP address, you appear to be in Belgium. You should add that to your profile information. Our European members may be the best source to help you.

    As kgg says above, you need to provide your location to get the best information for your area. From your IP address, you appear to be in Bulgaria. You can and should add your location to your profile.

    Moved thread to Getting Started: "Hey, we all start somewhere? What kind of tools and supplies do you need? Are there any helpful books? How can you get going now that you have been bitten by The Leather Bug? Post your newbie questions here, and let the more experienced folks help you through the initiation. The only dumb questions are the ones not asked!" A number of the posts here should be in Resources: "Links, periodicals, books, Guilds and other professional organizations, trade show and demonstration announcements go here." These two forums overlap a lot!

    You should add your location to your profile so you get answers that are applicable to where you are located. Appears from your IP address that you are in South Carolina. Makes a difference versus Europe, Australia, China, etc.

    Please post your info outside of the quoted box (usually below) so it become obvious it is a new post not quoted. It gets confusing to users when new info is added to quoted text.

    For videos that are larger than the upload limits, the only way to get them on here is to upload to YouTube or any other similar 3rd party host.

    Sewing machines do lock-stitch. Can't do the equivalent of saddle stitch. I think lock-stitch is really a misnomer as the stitches are not locked during the process. You have to tie off the ends, or back stitch over top to lock the ends of the stitch line.

    The small pulley on the motor should go to the large pulley on the speed reducer. You want to slow things down, so you want the motor pulley to make many turns to get one turn out of the speed reducer. Same goes for the belt from the speed reducer to the sewing machine pulley. What you have now is attempting to speed up your machine, and reduces the torque so it can't start on its own, needing you to give it a push to get started.

    You need to quote part of the post or to tag the person so they will be more likely to get a notification depending on their settings. Tag the person by typing the @ symbol followed by their username, then pick the username from the popup box. Like this - @Bobbie

    It may be the angle this photo was taken from, but the belt looks to be misaligned.

    You need to resize the picture files. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is adequate for phones and most monitors as they don't display in high res. Take a look at this thread for some helps. There is lots of Apps and other helps on the web too. HEIC files don't display on this site and many users will not download unknown files. So post as jpeg. Your phone has settings to make that transition. More info here. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/98380-heic-picture-files-convert-to-jpeg-before-posting/

    You need to quote part of the post or tag the user so they get a notification. Depends somewhat on what their notification settings are. Tag the user by typing the @ symbol, followed by the username and pick the username from the popup list. Like this @PWDrawhorn Is this machine still for sale?

    You need to resize the files. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. See this thread. There are also many helps and apps on the web to reduce photo file sizes. Use jpeg files. Also when tagging someone pick their username from the popup list. Then they will be tagged.

    The OP hasn't been back here since Aug 2022. Attempts have been made to contact the OP as you can see above, but he/she doesn't respond. I am locking and moving this thread to Old/Sold.
