Hello Dantan, I am not an expert by a long shot, BUT, I have experienced the same thing. and it caused a day of head scratching and cursing. what i found is that my needle thread tension is set just right on the thinner leather but when i went to a thicker leather the tension needed to be loosened just a tweak. i keep a strip of leather next to my machine that i use to check the tension of the needle thread, i never adjust the bobbin tension also. I use brass eye screws to route my thread from the roll to the machine. it reminds me of inspector gadget's set up but it stops the twisting

I have some doubts about stamps or craftool
Frodo replied to D2G's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
D2G, I suggest that if you want to buy quality tools to find a company close to your location that will make to order what you require. I myself, am tired of the cheap alloy stamps and am having stamps made from steel machined for me one at a time as i can afford D2G, te sugiero que si quieres comprar herramientas de calidad para encontrar una empresa cercana a tu ubicación que hará pedir lo que necesites. Yo mismo, estoy cansado de los sellos de aleación barata y estoy teniendo sellos hechos de acero mecanizado para mí uno a la vez como puedo permitirme -

Ok...Before I start on my little mini rant,, This is MY fault for not using the correct tool I am sitting here marking lines on a piece of leather while stamping it with a basket weave pattern. Happy as a bumble bee in spring time. I am using an old wore out ink pen, because i like the feel of the pen and the line it gives. I have been using this pen for over a month SO>>.I pick up my pin and draw a line along the straight edge. DAMN..The pen started writing !!!! Right down the middle of my leather Any dumbaZZ mistakes you want to tell on yourself. ????

LOL.....Yes I brought this up...A couple guys want holsters. And YES, I am into reloading and shoot almost every day. I shoot long range plinking at crap 50 feet away just does not interest me. A golf ball 100 yards away is more my style. Do not be concerned about being confused, I live in a state of confusion,

Picked up a brand new pair of cargo pants at a garage sale for 3 dollars. I brought them home and cut the pockets off of them, and made a bag This measures 12'' tall 9'' wide 2'' deep with outter pockets on the front [1] 7'' x 9''' and [2] 4'' x 4''' on the back side [1] 8'' x 7'' and 8'' x 4'' after joining the 2 sides, i stitched in a small veg tan strap with d rings strap to come later the small straps are stitched using a 9 strand cotton string that has been waxed, the phone company uses it to pull wire so far. i have a total of 3 dollars invested in this bag
