Pictures may help us understand what is missing and what your machine is doing.

There is no need to post the same post 3 times. One post is very adequate. Possibly you triple posted in error. Only hit the submit button once, then wait for the message to get to the server and then back to you. Each time you hit submit, if you are on a slow connection, or the internet is bogged down, it submits a new post until the server catches up to you.

@NewToSewing moved your post to leather sewing machines. That's where the sewing machine guys hang out.

If you are dying details and you find the dye wicks quickly beyond the line or cut, I find it helps to moisten the leather a little so it doesn't wick so quickly beyond where you want the edge to be. Large items I will dip dye if it fits my container or I can pass it through like a belt for example. I don't bother moistening before hand in cases like that, or when dying something that won't fit. A little oil after helps even out the colour.

@Alan RUNDELL Tried opening the .heic file with a Win 10 tablet and it opened in Photos, so tried to save it as a jpeg. Wouldn't! Did a snip, pasted into 3D Paint, saved as a jpeg. So here is your photo in a file type most of us can view.

I have been quite successful with removing black stains due to iron contamination. And yes, you need to replace some of the oils that are lost due to bleaching with Oxalic acid. A teaspoon in a pint of water is strong enough, and doesn't bother my skin much ... sort of like lemon juice which you can also use to bleach stains. Just don't keep you fingers in it all day! You can bleach it using Q-tips or other cotton/wool swabs, so you can avoid bleaching more than the stain area. Do it in progressive steps until you get a close match to the surrounding area. Also note that you may have to remove any protective finish for what ever agent you use to clean/bleach out the stain. In that case, you will want to remove the finish over the whole piece/panel/seat so you can have a consistent colour.

Do a google search using this string "site:leatherworker.net watch strap" without the quotes. The "site:" parameter restricts the search to leatherworker.net.

@Alan RUNDELL Moved your post to leather sewing machines where you may get more responses. If you post your photo in a jpeg/jpg format, more people will be able to open it to see what you are trying to show us. The format you used is pretty much restricted to Apple, and most of us don't have anything to open it with, and are not interested in hunting for something to open it with.

You are over thinking this and making it too complicated. A good sewing machine servo motor, preferably analog rather than digital, and a speed reducer pulley set. Need the pulley set to be able to keep the motor speed up enough that you still have adequate torque. You should check out posts in the "leather sewing machine" forum. It's also a good idea to put your location in your profile so we can see where you are located. From your IP address, you appear to be in California. So we know that most homes / businesses are served with 120 VAC 60 Hz. power in your area, versus other frequencies and voltages elsewhere in the world.

My Tandy Round Knife doesn't keep a sharp edge. Has to be stropped every few inches.

Fixed it for you!

@nickyhorses You really might like to tell people where you are. This is a global site with members from all over the world. It would appear from the IP address you used that you are likely the Temecula, California, 92592 area. You should add some info to your profile, including your location.

Michiel sent me a copy to post here. adler 204 servicemanual.pdf Also applies to model 205

Do a YouTube video and post the link. File sizes here are limited.

Have you considered a new routing for the replacement line? Might be a lot easier in the long run.

Don't lift the presser foot so high that it releases the top tension disks. It's not skipping stitches, so the needle is in a good location so the hook still grabs the loop. Having made these comments, it appears that you are losing the bottom tension rather than the top tension as the knot isn't being pulled down into the leather. Or, are you pulling the top thread up as you are completing the stitch? @Wizcrafts should be along to help soon.
