To all users! Considering the resolution of smart phone screens and most computer monitors, you don't need to post hi res photos. Nobody can see the difference due to their screen resolution and size. There are still a lot of places in the world where download speeds are pretty slow and could take hours to download some of the photos people like to post their large photo files! So give us all a break. Downsize your photo files to 800 pixels in the longest dimension. That is very adequate for purposes of this website.

You need to resize the photos to fit. See this thread for some helps. Plus there are lots of apps and web helps available off the internet. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate for phones and computer screens. High resolutions don't help improve what you can see on the typical screen. Post pictures of the front, side, and back of the left end of the machine.

800 Pixels in the longest dimension is great for viewing on phones and computer screens. At that resolution you can post many photos in the same post. Yours are toooo small. Also best to post without zipping them. It is extra nuisance to open as have to save to disk instead of viewing as part of your post.

Lift the presser foot and tension is bad
Northmount replied to palvim's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Make sure when you are turning that you have gone past the bottom dead centre and the needle has risen about a quarter inch to make sure the hook catches the top thread loop and doesn't drop it. That is when it skips a stitch. When you lift the presser foot, just lift is slightly while making your turn. Lifting it too far releases the top tension disks, thus you lose top tension. Usually, when you lose the top tension, it doesn't pull the bobbin thread up to the top, so maybe my answer is way off base! -

Messy stitches on cobbler only when stitching to the right
Northmount replied to arich's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Patchers use the presser foot to advance the leather for each stitch. Smooth foot, no or little advance. Top feed, no bottom feed. -
Archery Arm Guard - Pattern & Instructions (*pdf File)

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. This is where the machine guys hang out. From what I can see, plus the age of your machine, that looks like it is a clutch, and would be on the end of a clutch motor. The motor runs at constant speed all the time it is turned on. As you press on the foot pedal, it engages the clutch. Takes a lot of practice to run the machine at low speed. It's more fussy that a clutch on a car/truck with a standard transmission. Others will be along to confirm or correct my comments.
