I recently purchased this machine and I’m having issues. I want to use the machine to sew chaps, chinks, wallets belts etc. I’ve read in other threads that the best need for leather would be 135-16 leather point. When I search, I find multiple sizes. There are sizes from 18 to 24. Does anyone know what size I should buy?
Are “wedge point leather needles” what I should be looking for?
Ive read that #138 is the best size thread for this machine, but I was under the impression from research that it could handle #207. Am I limited to #138?
lastly, sometimes, when sewing the thread gets caught around the bobbin holder. When I lift the foot and pull the material it is caught and has basically three pieces of thread coming from the bottom. Any ideas?
sorry, but I’m new to sewing and really don’t have a clue what I’m doing. Thanks in advance for your help.
