    Hello Gottaknow,

    I just joined Leatherworker last night. This weekend I bought a 211G155. I intend to use it for thick leather work. I have only run it one time since I’ve had it home and haven’t even threaded the needle yet. You seem knowledgeable of this machine and I’d like to ask a few questions.

    Can this machine be slowed way down so I can creep along? Currently it flies when I give the slightest pressure on the peddle.

    Is’nt this a walking foot machine? Currently both feet lower at the same time and it doesn’t seem to walk.

    What is the thickest thread that I can use for thick leather work?

    What is the best resource for thread and needles?

    I’m missing the bobbin slide plate to the left of the needle. Is this available somewhere?

    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Vic
