Those are what you’d call distressed leather. It can be anything, bovine, swine, etc. it’s done in the process off tanning.

Google search the U.S. Air Force safety keepermans training manual. Skip the oxygen canisters section on to the sewing machine section. Here you will learn in the simplest of terms how to diagnose, and repair anything that could pop up on any sewing machine in the world. Even has a troubleshooting section… find your issue, right next to it is your solution. Any problems that can happen are caused by very specific things. Like skipped stitches or not grabbing the bobbin thread, there’s only a couple things that cause that, needle set incorrectly, wrong needle, presser foot isn’t keeping the material in contact with the bed, add presser foot pressure. I see people saying timing every time a stitch is skipped. With that PDF you will never ask another question online again. Covers 4 of the most common machines, 2 of each kind, oscillating shuttle (31-15), and rotary hook (singer 145 juki 158). Only two that matter to us anyway. You won’t be disappointed.

Above the foot, there should be a stitch length screw/clamp. It slides up and down the feed bar. All the way down to full feed, up for zero.

Have you tried tightening the belt, and maybe checking to see if oil dripped on it? If you’ve oiled the machine it’s gotten on the belt. Mine does anyway.

I believe that’s the same machine I just set up for Tandys a couple weeks back. Didn’t pay attention to servo. Imma see what it’s working with when I’m in the store again.

Snapping turtle, sturgeon, canebreak rattler, Texas hornback lizard, pangolin (anteater) turkey, hippo, snapping turtle, giraffe, Nile monitor, tegu lizard, and probably more I’m forgetting. I know it’s an old post, just in case anybody sees this, I have them all, in stock

Reliable 6000sm sew quite. Put one on my 145w204. Best thing since air conditioning.

Your needle isn’t set correctly, or even the wrong needle is installed.

Hold tight on that 500$ and go on a search, and find the used machine of your liking. You can find just about any machine out there for 500$. I have 12 machines running daily, I haven’t paid 500$ for any of them. Gotta look everywhere, daily, search like it’s your job. Estate sales are your friend. If a seller tells you it’s vintage, rare, any crap like that, they know absolutely nothing about the machine they’re selling. Gotta be able to talk..

Thank you. I’ve dragged scraps around for the last 35 years… finally put’em to work.

There’s money in scrap

I skived by hand, with the 5$ skiver I bought in 94 till 2 years ago. I bought the techsew. Definitely waited 30 years too long.

It’s just the first 3/4 inches of the cylinder arm I’m looking to remove. It has a seam, so I’m assuming it can be removed. I can’t see any other way to time the needle to the hook. Everything else has been pretty simple., thanks for responding bud, I appreciate it.
