Bag looks fantastic. I'm inspired.

Great work. I'm working up the courage to start my first duffel bag soon.

Thanks for all of the replies. I did a bit more research and came to the conclusion that I should do as suggested and begin by working with the top thread as much as possible. I was a bit concerned because the top tension is practically wide open at this point. The stitches are looking better however. I guess now it's a matter of fine tuning. Thanks again for all of the input.

Excited to have stumbled upon this thread. I just received my 2700 PRO for Christmas. ( I have wonderfully generous and supportive in-laws). Unfortunately so far, the very first run of stitches jammed the machine and threw out the timing. very first stitches. <facepalm> A couple of phone calls to Techsew support later and I've learned how to adjust the timing of the machine. Just tonight I finally got it timed right. After running a few test pieces successfully. I noticed that I needed to adjust the bobbin thread tension. I understand that most machines should come "ready to sew" but mine stumbled out of the gate. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Right now my threads are badly uneven. The lower thread is being pulled right through the leather and the top thread is essentially laying on top. I already love my machine even though I've only gotten to make about 50 stitches with it yet. I'm excited to keep learning about the machine and hope the bumps in the road are all surmountable.

Ok so your best is pretty fantastic! Great designs and excellent workmanship. Thanks for sharing this. Solid inspiration.

Really nice stuff. Thanks for sharing

This is a great design and some solid carving work. I'm really impressed with the dying/coloring job also. did you resist several parts of the design? I really like it. - Ditto on the holes though (I'm fairly new also so this was my only real constructive input!)

This place is awesome.

That'd a great story. Very impressed with the stitching also.

nice design here. I'm looking forward to getting some hardware to make some cool stuff like this.

looks like the years have given some great experience the wallets look great. Probably a dumb question, but are you still hand-stitching many pieces?

looks decent to me. Noticed the burnished edges and the nice detail. I've never made one so no practical advice from me though sorry.

This is a really great design. Excellent craftsmanship on the bag also. Some great inspiration.

very cool. I can't wait to give one of these a try.

This looks great. Love they dying.

Looks excellent. Nice job

Looks great. I'm looking forward to making my first sling next month.

OK that place is badass.

The stitching pony is excellent. Thanks for sharing. I really want to make my own but I'm not sure where to start. I'm on the hunt for some plans.
