Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if the force was increased on the single toe. Any thoughts on whether raising the foot higher will also reduce the amount of force? Of course, will this also lesson the pressure to the point of slippage?

Sweet! I opted to buy the table although I haven't got to use it yet. By the way, would you mind sharing your setup for sewing wallets? I've never done this yet but plan to this week. I'm going to use 138 thread on up to 3 layers of 3-4oz. Craig

Hello, I just bought myself a very nice Cowboy 3200. Man, do I love this machine. Such a difference after working on a Tippman Boss. However, I'm experiencing some issues in regards to the feed foot and presser foot impressions. The samples that came from Cowboy didn't really show this. But, I did swap the double foot for the left walking foot right away. The attached photo shows the impressions being made, specifically with the main walking foot inside the radius at the bottom of the trigger guard area. NOTE: this appears worse than it really is due to the glare. But, it's still worse than I'd like. I've loosened the top pressure knob for the walking foot. Again, I can live with the impression it is giving. But, I'm uncertain what do on the main walking foot. The instructions state about how to raise or lower the main walking foot. My question....will this correct this? If so, what is the consequences of this when going to lighter material? The holster is Herman Oak 7-8oz. 2 pcs. I want to also to sew 3 layers of 3-4oz. (so, about 1/2). BTW, I sewed some pocket knife sheaths from two layers of 5-6oz. and didn't really notice this as much. Thanks for any and all help!

Hi Pattern, I too live in West KY (Paducah). Maybe we can help each other along in the art of leatherworking. Craig
