I have a Consew 205rb-1 and the needle won't pick up the boo in thread? Any ideas? This is a new machine.

Thanks Wiz, I have seen some smooth pressed feet for these as well, that's what I was thinking but I'll look around

I understand it is not designed for it, but I've seen videos of it sewing some pretty thick leather, just seeing if anyone had experience doing that with it.

Will this machine sew veg tan leather up to about 1/4"?

Thanks Bob, I didn't notice that. I'll get that changed

Here is pic

Ok, so I took some advice from Bob, here is my second attempt drawing a sheridan pattern. How's it look? Here's pic

Here it is with shaded backround and a couple changes....

Do you have an example of how to add a distinct flower stem? Thank you for the critique!

I am brand new to the leather working world. I have tools on order but have not recieved them yet. Coming into this, I knew I wanted to draw my own patterns, so I have just completed my first pattern. What do you guys think? Any critique or compliment is welcome.
