Fat Dog Leather

Hey donno3, As a FNGirl to this world of leather work who is learning all she can by asking questions and advice along the way; I cannot offer adjustment info. on your machine, just a few more words of encouragement ........ I too started on a 29-4 that I thought was too cool. Quickly found out why it is a patch machine and struggled to sew straight lines after working hard on projects. Recently bought a new walking foot and could not be happier. So if you can manage the old 29-4, you can handle any new machine - without a doubt! I can throw it out there to always try a sample of any new material to see how the machine will perform prior to putting your ready to sew project under the needle. Good luck!

Late in the game to jump in.....but here goes. I have a large python skin in excellent shape that I am attempting to turn a 90 degree corner on a money clip project. Suggestions I have received to hold down the scales that flip up as the corner is made include the use of; varnish, white glue and most recently Mod Podge. I have tried the mod podge and it takes several coats to layer it under the scales as it turns and then with a final coat. Seems to hold for now, but being a newbie... I could use the advice. Thanks.

Thanks 10-4 will do.

I too have recently become a new owner of the Cobra 4.... Last week! I was sewing on a 29-4 so this is a huge step up for me that I have a long way to travel. However so far the machine has been a pleasure to use. Looking forward to learning and becoming proficient. Any side notes or lessons learned the hard way would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Looking for advice on how to sew hair on hide over finished leather.
