    Great video Gregg, I bought a Juki 1541s from you a while ago. Hopefully I need to pick up a bell skiver soon from you.

    @MStone I was in the same situation I sew about the same stuff you do. I also live on the east coast. I ended up buying a Juki 1541s from Keystone. Gregg literally spent 2hrs helping learn how to use it I couldn't be happier. Before I bought my machine I talked to just about all of the banner advertising dealers. I can say they all were great with helping me choose the right machine.

    The factory inner foot does measure .240 and every third party foot measures .187 it's not much of a difference. But it does help having the bigger foot print to make my own open toe presser foot. You know of a any cheap inner feet with the .240 size with a smooth bottom.

    Not sure off hand I will have yo look latet.

    I have bought some smooth bottom inner feet, but every third party foot is very thin in the width. The OEM one from Juki is very expensive but I like the size of the foot print. Anyone know of a third party that sells the inner foot with the same width of Juki's?

    Not my video but the same idea

    Put the leather under the blade before you clamp it or you wont be able to get it under. When i can i will post a picture, and leave enough on one side so you can pull it with pliers or your hand.

    If there only 3/4 if an inch go buy a paint scraper razor blade. Its about 4 inches long at any Home Depot. Prop it up with a couple washers to at the end if a table and clamp it so it wont move. And use it like a regular splitter. I know this is a permanent fix but it works well I have split some hard leathers. I made a jig so it is sturdy.

    Love this forum I have a Juki 1541s and just started to use canvas with leather for bags. I haven't had to really make any adjustments besides a couple clicks on the tension. Love to see your work when you get everything dialed in, it sure is a learning experience. Especially finding that right needle going in between different leathers. Maybe it's just me I get better results with different needles on the backside depending on the type of leather. I have tons to learn and just reading other peoples questions have helped me.

    @Uwe Thanks @Chayse it cleaned up nicely old machines were just built to last.

    Do you have or know of any good split toe feet for a Juki 1541, I bought after market ones but they are really slim. I want to find a split toe that has the same foot print as the Juki center presser foot that it comes with.

    Nice what weight is the leather?
  17. AdamPCain
    Look under the leather sewing machine section. Depends on what your sewing their tons of sewing machines.

    Updated my work area removed my weight machine since I needed room for a Juki 1541s. Also bought a Juki HZL-F400 for sewing linings and light fabrics. I was forced to join a gym since I got rid of my weight machine, but the space I have is priceless.

    Very nice I was going to get a cylinder machine but ended up getting a flat bed. Still going to get a cylinder someday. Turning into an expensive hobby.
