use lighter thread for sure and it will help, this means smaller needle also. I sew 2/3 oz to itself folded over on pocket knife scabbards and no problems. Its better on heavier leather but until I have a machine for every leather I build things from its just my Class 4 from Steve.

I just wanted to post on here a thought of mine, I have been toolin' for 5 months and am thankful for TLF having inexpensive tools so that I could try out my new hobby at a reduced expense. I was at the southwest leather show and spent a bunch of money on Barry King tools and the level that my work has gone up is well noticed among friends and customers. I am just learning so most of my stuff has been "free" to friends+family. The money that i have made on leathercrafts i put right back into my "habit account" that could just be made payable to Barry King! Thanks to TLF for starting my new passion, and Barry King and Bob Beard for tools that my 5 year old son will still be using when I can't see to tool anymore!
