I have a Ferdco Pro 440, bought this about 8 years ago. Yes, this was before I learned more about leather sewing machines.
One of my challenges is skipped stitches. I was reading another topic and saw that if you adjusted the needle penetration into the leather that helped. I will try that.
My main irritation with this machine is the fact that even when I take as much pressure off the foot as possible the foot still leaves marks on the top of the leather. I'm wondering if the spring that pushes down on the presser foot is too strong or long. I, of course, don't have any repair manual and the people who sold these machines have gone out of business and are no help finding any kind of resource for adjustments.
I'm hoping someone out there can help.
Thanks a lot
Pat
