Skip, I think 794 refers to the system. Tony.

Ah,Ha!

Hi Art. On my 205, I've only ever used the top tensioner to alter tension, the bottom one is just the same as when I got the machine and I use #160 to #230 needles and thread from #20 to #10 and any adjustment I do is very minimal and by doing it this way it is easy to pull the thread out when you lift the foot as the tension relaxes when you lift the foot. Tony.

What is it, Drac?

Boy, I'll bet you get a lot of watchbands from a side of bridle leather!

Hi Johanna, Does listening to radio on the 'net use much download? Kind regards, Tony.

I doubt it. Hemp is what you make threads out of by rolling them together to make whatever size thread you need. Tony

You blokes speak an entirely diff. language!!! Tony.

Hi Andy. I have a 205 and the only time I've had a problem similar to this is when a bit of crap got under the thread tension plate that is on the bobbin case. I now pull the plate off every couple of months and give it a clean and seems to be ok. Tony.

Thank you to Art and Blake for their informative replies. Great help here on this forum.

I think that Dixon made a knife similar to this and it was called a Bridle Cutter's knife. I have a catalogue somewhere and I'll have a look after.

There must be some learned person who knows the ins and outs of these machines. Are they any good?
-
I reckon it would be good if the Knifemakers would now begin to make custom Boxcutters to go with the fancy sheaths. Could be a another money maker, who knows?

But, what is it?

I had pigeons as a kid app 50 years ago! A lot of people had pigeons in the city in those days and raced them of course and the local chinese laundry would buy all the ones I didn't want and pay me 30 cents each for them and a packet of cigarettes was only 25 cents so I thought it was a good deal in those days.

Thanks Rayban!

How come there are six layers of leather in your sheath?

Can't get that link to work!

And you can get rid of some of your scraps at the same time!

Bruce, I envy a workshop so neat and tidy,I really do. Mine stays like that for a day after I clean up and then it rapidly goes downhill again! Tony.

Carlos, the machine is a Pederson Sole Stitcher. It is a machine built for the shoe trade. They're a handy little machine. They're good for stitching along the edges of pocket knife or pocket watch pouches as they stitch sideways. You can still buy parts for them. Regards, Tony.

Thanks very much for your help, John. It looks as if it is sold under many diff. guises, as no doubt, many other items are! I thought I'd get some help here from the other members knowledge. It's a real font of information.

There is a Protex walking foot machine for sale nearby and although I haven't been to look at it I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about Protex TY - 0618 - 1?

You may not have decent tooling leather but you have plenty of great bridle and harness leather though! Tony.
