I put this in the "Show me the backside of you holster sewn with a Boss" thread but it is a pretty old thread and hasn't gotten any responses. I am attaching pictures of a magazine pouch I made this weekend, thanks JLS Leather for the pattern. I have spent about 3 years in a love hate relationship with the used Boss I bought. A few weeks ago I finally narrowed down what I think was the problem all along, a bent piece in the needle carrier assembly. I have slowly been doing more sewing getting confidence in the machine and going through the learning curve. One thing I have found is the colored thread, I have black and brown, is much more difficult to get correct tensions with and make good stitches. I double checked and all 3 are the same 277 thread and nylon. Is this common or did I possibly get bad spools of black and brown, they are very stiff compared to the white. Anyway with all that said all advice welcome on the stitching of the mag pouch. Todd

I know this is a very old thread but I gained a lot of good information from it over the last 3 years as I tried to get my Boss to stitch on any kind of regular basis. I am posting pictures of a magazine carrier I made, many thanks to JLS leather for the pattern, and would like any suggestions on the stitching and also would ask if other with the Boss have more issues with colored thread than white, I finally got it to sew with the brown but it is much stiffer and more critical on the tension adjustments. The white just seems to flow. Thanks, Todd

Thank you everyone I found one I could make work. Todd

I have googled the tar out of it. Any I find are complex designs. thanks Todd

Does anyone have a tracing pattern or know where I can download one? I need to put a simple cross on a bible cover. Thanks in in advance for the help. Todd

Thanks everyone. That’s what I figured I just need to pay closer attention and make sure the bobbins are full.

I am a long time lurker and just finally joined the forum. I do a little holster and miscellaneous case work. I have one of the cast iron Boss sewing machines, I bought it used and based on the serial number it is very old. My question is what do you do if the bobbin run out mid project? I try to start any large project with a full bobbin but then you end up with 2 or 3 partial bobbins. When you start back do you just sew over the last 3-4 stitches and continue on or do you sew back and forth over the last 3-4 stitches to lock the last stitches from the first bobbin and the first stitches from the new bobbin in? Thanks for the help. Todd
