  1. This is the beginning of an 8' bull whip The handle, It takes me a full day just to weave the handle.
  2. correction. if the top stitch is loose, it is the bobbin tension that needs adjustment if the bottom stitch is loose it is the top thread tension that needs adjustment
  3. the needle MUST go down Then the hook sweeps in front of the hook grabbing the thread on the NEXT revolution when the needle comes up it MUST come up in the corner opposite the hook Also..what needle size and thread size are you using? incorrect needle will cut thread also
  4. LK, Look at 10:40 How To Thread & Set The Timing On Your Chinese Sewing Machine - YouTube in order to set the bobbin hook exactly where you want, loosen the pitman rod nuts and adjust the hook
  5. OK guys, I am going to try and tell you how to get your machines working go to this link here How To Thread & Set The Timing On Your Chinese Sewing Machine - YouTube if you have questions after seeing this, i can help you, i am not on this forum every day., pm me if it is the needle, put your finger under the machine, roll the crank, the neddle should tap your finger with out cutting you. if you do not feel the needle, it needs to be lowered, if it draws blood it is to long and the needle bar needs to go up

  11. Yes I have a couple of tips for you you, Here is a small wet formed pouch about the size of your watch . ...It is for my sewing needle packs Measure your watch, cut the bottom piece the measurement you want the item to be cut the top piece 1/4'' wider are you going to line the pocket with a soft 2 oz leather? add that and leave it larger than you want. trim off the excess liner go ahead a decorate, stamp dye the pieces then sew every thing together, next, drop the pouch into a pan of water for 15 /20 seconds put the watch in a baggie, shove it into the pouch, use your fingers to form the details set it out of the way and let it dry I form pistols and knives, and a baggie works just fine,
  12. I do not have a problem with USMC black, I think it might be because I do not follow the 'normal' directions I apply the stain, wait about 5 minutes then apply the resolene, I apply the resolene liberally and set it aside to dry here is a holster i am currently working on
  13. i saw a bag the other day that i thought was really nice, But if you know me, I like rustic !!1 The bag looked to be 8oz veg tan, with a neets foot oil finish It looked like 1 piec of leather folded, and the gusset was folded in, and stitched with raw hide strips I made a simple sketch of what it looked like tell me what you think, and if you draw, bring it to life, I am going to make this
