I figured it out by calling techsew. I just had to tighten up the tension knobs, until my bottom stitch tightened up to where I wanted it. Thanks for you reply maybe you can help me with my next question. Anyone know where to get a good edge guide? My current setup doesnt seem to want to stay put. I would prefer one with a roller, and something with a better mounting option so it doesnt move once tightened down. I have attached a pic of my current setup. The original bolts stripped the first time I put them in, which is why im using the allen screw, but it still doesnt hold very good. Can I change the round disc that is below the guide. If so it would be nice to be able to get one with bigger threads in it allowing me to use a bigger bolt. Im even thinking of drilling and taping this one to a larger size.

Hey everyone.... I make holsters and originally subcontracted all the sewing. I now have a Techsew 106 so I can do it myself, but I am having some beginner struggles. I am stitching together one peice of 9-10oz leather to one peice of suede for a backing. I am doing a single stitch around the edge about an 1/8" in. The issue is the stitch is loose on the backside around most sharp corners. Is this an issue with my technique or is there an adjustment needed to the machine? Im pretty sure thread is a bonded nylon size 135 if that will help. If it will help to see the type of stitch check out this page for pictures of my holsters. http://shop.audacitytactical.com/1911-Deep-Cover-Double-Clip-DC1911DC100.htm Thanks,

I run a small business making Kydex holsters and Kydex/Leather holsters. I am looking for someone local that I can contract to do all of my leather edge stitching for me. I currently dont have a leather sewing machine and until I get one I need someone who can do the sewing work for me. I want someone who has pride in their work and pays close attention to detail. The work is a simple double stitch around the edge of a single layer of leather and suede that has been glued together. I stress that the sewing needs to be perfect, and I am not looking for a beginer. I put alot of work into each holster and If the stitching is done poorly the holster must be tossed which costs me material and labor that I have into the holster. This can add up to lots of money quickly. Please contact me to discuss work volume and compensation. I can be reached anytime at (580)583-8084.
